Well, there was one spotting. Everybody within a mile knows about Lenny. What a great community. There are a few families out looking around on their own. I hate to get hopes up for them to be dashed, but I haven't seen any buzzards around yet and Lenny doesn't seem the type to roam for miles, but who knows. I hope he is just scared and laying low in the woods. Trying to read up on how dogs may think and since he isn't defending our home, I don't think he will bark and chase cars. He may get hit darting across of course.
I also read where they may not even come to the owners call or for food when they go into survival mode. About to walk the creek and hope he found it and is thirsty. Otherwise, maybe he will get so hungry and tired he will forget being scared and just finally walk up to somebody.
Still telling myself he is gone. Expect the worse. Hope for the best.
