That reminds me of a funny story. A local guy that hog hunts around here picked up a vested cur dog that had a name and number on the collar and at that. Well, he calls the number, gets no answer, so he keeps the dog. Well, a few months later they are hunting in that same area and hear this dog bay up. They go to him and he's in a mans backyard. The catch is, its the man who originally lost the dog
Anyway, not sure of the details about what happened next back needless to say the man got his dog back!
