The thing is, when I see it it's on its way out of the neighborhood so I don't have the chance to run into the house, grab a can of food and then lure it to me. And when I do that I can't find it after I've grabbed the food and go back out to find it. And if I leave food out that'll attract racoons and get eaten by the neighborhood cats long before the stray gets it.
The best I've been able to do is notify neighbors that there is a stray and to keep and eye out for it.
This is a really good thing to do, CM.
Leave some food out. No matter whether you see the dog or not, it will keep her coming back to the same spot, and if she develops a feeding schedule, she'll become predictable. Preferably not kibble---something like $1 menu hamburgers from MacD's or something. Something very aromatic and enticing. If the owner has a blanket or even an old shirt that smells like her, put that where you feed her. Make her a little home away from home. Skittish dogs are the most frustrating---but they also raise questions about the owner...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
