When I was growing up we had moved to a area that was more into the edges of a big city in southwest, Pa. We had a small beagle that we kept in our house. One morning she got out the door and ran into the woods and did not come home.
We searched the woods calling her name over and over, trying to figure out what had happened to her. She had her tags so we were confident if anyone found her we would get a phone call.
Three weeks went by and then one day we heard a dog barking in the woods. My dad went to investagate and found a stranger with our dog. It seems he had found her and had kept her in his garage for the past 3 weeks. His lame excuse was that he thought she was homeless, even though, her collar and tags were still around her neck.
We got our dog back and I guess my dad told this man he better never steal someone elses dog again.
