Well, to make a long story short, an Animal Control Officer came to pick up the dog I found behind my house. She said it was on public property, so she had a right to take it, and that's what she did. I helped her load the dog up in her truck, and off she went.

Tonight at about 9:50, Xon went out to the car to get a book. A man and woman were walking down the street. The woman approached Xon and said she was looking for her dog. She said, "I keep her tied to a tree in the woods right behind your house," and that "she barks a lot." The woman said she did not live in our neighborhood but she walks here a lot, so she suspected the dog would come here. She gave Xon her phone number and said the dog's name is Diamond. Xon told her that she should call Animal Control.

So, I wrote up a little "report" to give to Animal Control. The dog was obviously underweight, dirty, and had gunky eyes. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'll certainly be keeping tabs on the situation.
