I hate to read about these type of events. That town is two hours away from me. Far enough that I'm sure I wouldn't spot him but if I did, I'd put him in my car in a heartbeat and call the police. Poor dog, I hope they find him .
I'm sorry he's missing, but if the town was going to spend five grand on a PPD, you'd think they'd at least have enough sense not leave the dog alone in an unsecured area.
And god help that animal if it finds itself in Camden, they'll never get him back, for sure.
The area wasn't unsecured. He jumped a 6 foot fence. Although that can happen, it's not something you can anticipate. I've only had one GSD that could jump a (7 foot) wall. I don't see any fault here.
... Far enough that I'm sure I wouldn't spot him but if I did, I'd put him in my car in a heartbeat and call the police. ...
Are you sure you'd want to put him in your car?
quote from article:
Police said that although Scotty is friendly, anyone who spots him should contact police and warned not to put the K9 in a car. He may think he's working and not allow you in the vehicle.
endquote.
That said, I sure do hope they find him, too, and in good health. I wonder, could they use the other dog to track the missing dog? I hope that isn't a completely stupid question.

Yep, I read that too. That's why I posted the way I did...if I was lucky enough to get him in my car, I'd do it, without me following him. I'd shut the door, call the police and stand by my car until they came. I realize the odds of that happening at all are probably nill but I'm justing saying, if I had the opp, I'd try just that.
Any other way certainly wouldn't save the dog..."Hello, officer,...I'm calling about that missing K9...I just saw running in the direction of Rt. 80...what...you'll be there in 10 minutes...you're doing the best you can...Ok officer but he's long gone and it's only been 10 seconds." It's probably a pretty realistic conversation.
Well, I don't carry a crate in my car, but I always have a leash or two in there. If he's friendly, and has on a collar, you could probably put a leash on him. Maybe, anyway. I usually have some sort of treat, too.
Since both dogs are trained in tracking, though, why couldn't they attempt to track the missing K9 with the one they still have? Is that not possible?

AWWW, Come on Judy, you could get in there with him.....
It would be kind of comical if any of us went and found a dog and it would not let us into our own car. YIKES, I would hate to have to explain that to the hubby....."Uh Honey, can you come help me get a dog out of the car." He would laugh hysterically.
