There are no leash laws where I live, lol. I live in the sticks in south Arkansas. People dump dogs down my road often. I have taken in many over the years. Just your regular animal lover here. And yes it was my dog, but she has never done that before and is acclimated with my beardie, as I have taken him out often. I don't know what got in to her ( the dog). Needless to say, I learned my lesson big time. Thankfully Denathor is ok and he has already forgiven me. I cuddled with him just a while ago.
