Don't chase. Lure. Gotta play the long game with a skittish pup. Let him eat food near you and out of your palm. Pet before you grab a collar. No quick movements.
I'm dog sitting and my dad's dog seemed like he was making friend with the stray so I had an opportunity... but I also had my cat out on a walk and he would have flipped if I approached the stray, and I don't know how the stray would have responded to the cat and by the time I got the cat back inside the stray was off through the neighborhood and I never saw it again.
It apparently been sleeping in the corner of my neighbor's yard so I'm going to grab a can of dog food and go over there today and see if it's there again. I doubt this dog has had much, if anything, to eat since its been lost so hopefully it'll approach me if I have food.
This is day three of it being lost by my reckoning, and day four according to my neighbor.

Feeling stupid trying to figure out what YouTuber Ingrid Nilsen's hashtag #5MFU means. Delightful girl, but that's puzzling me.

Poor puppy. Good luck.

Where is this at? My guess Chicago from the street sign and a partial from the building. But there is more than one Michigan Ave. Very cool. Like the mix of colors.

Art Inst. of Chicago. The lions are hiding behind the bus and crowd. My daughter and I visited there when I took her college visiting.

Jibbers. You are so freaking talented, Jenny.
Thank you! You do realize they don't all turn out so well?
