a good man

Yeah we had a similar situation recently... We lost 2 dogs on a hunt about a month ago. Some people we knew were in the area a week and a half later building a fence and had a brindle dog with a tracking collar and collar, swim a creek and load up in the truck. They quickly realize that this isnt one of our dogs, and call both numbers to no avail. They not being able to keep the dog bring it to one of us to hold. The original owner of the dog finally calls back and drives down to pick it up. As him and my buddy are bs'ing about hog hunting, the Man quickly relates a story that back during the tournament he was traveling between 2 small towns in Freestone county and he picked up dog out on the highway. Apparently it chased a hog across the highway and stopped right in front of the man, but had no collars. He said he walso went to the local feed stroe and left his name, number and all the information about the dog, etc. It was also a red brindle colored dog. Well we have friends in Freestone county that have a few red brindle cur dogs, soo our buddy just checking to make sure made a quick call and found out that they HAD had a brindle dog missing. Gone from their house! The man quickly getting nervous, takes a call and leaves. A few hours later they(Freestone County) finally get a hold of the Man... They offer him $200 for finding the dog and to drive 3 hours that night to come get her, etc. The man crawsfishes and says he has to leave for work for 30 days, blah, balh, etc.... then he starts saying its not a red brindle, its a yellow brindle and on and on. He wont even let the boys drive down and see if its their dog. And finally quit answering their calls.. last weekend after police involvement, thankfully the dog was returned. Crazy how it all worked out, it was just pure luck that we ever found out who took her
