we have a black lab that run off about four month ago we have been looking and post ads everywhere we could think of. well sat. it had been stroming all day and we were with out power for hours so i went out fron the try my cell phone hadn't been working in the house in out of the corner of my eye i see something black and it was her. someone had taken her in and been good to her. we called them they had a tag with a number on it to see if we could pay them back for her care.and they said we owe the nothing. there is good people around..we never keep a collar on her because when we found her 4 yrs ago she had a chain inbedded ( hope that how you spell it) in her neck so she was aways alittle shy of them. so glad to have my baby home safe and sound
