I got one of my dogs because somebody dumped her as a puppy outside the electrician's shop my buddy was working at. They didn't tie her up to a tree and we spent hours trying to catch her using hot dogs as bait (I couldn't believe how many she ate) to no avail. She spent the night outside but was still lurking near the shop the next day. She was caught when one of the electrician's wives pulled up and the dog jumped in her car. My buddy took her home and I adopted her. I would link to a picture but I can't get to Flickr or Picasa from work. She's a chow-malmute and cute as all get out.
