For now I am calling him Matty Groves since he has matted fur (and worst). They took him to the vet and had him checked out a bit and got the rabies shot. He's probably 12 years old, may have some health issues. He is very sweet though and housebroken, but since we don't know if he has parasites etc., we are keeping him away from the pups (which isn't easy of course). Got a couple calls resulting from the posters the kids put up, but so far false alarms. We (well, mostly the wife) are now trying hard to see if we can get a rescue organization to pick him up. He has no tag, and no microchip, so chances are he was abandoned :-( http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/PICS/L9991981.jpg On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 1:55 AM, Richard Man<richard.lists at gmail.com> wrote: > My wife was coming home from Taiko performance tonight and she found a > poor confused dog in the middle of a major road.
