Apparently the dog had escaped out the front door of the home and was in for what I can only surmise to be abuse when they got back home. The dog was entirely too skinny for its size and it was trembling whenever it went near its owner. The dog went to every person looking for either food or respite from its owner. If the dog had been alone I would have taken it home and fed it and addressed the issue of finding the owner in the morning. However, I was not about to get in a fight with the drunken owner about how he treated his obviously very sweet, but neglected dog. <br />I also thought of calling animal control but knew by the time they arrived, the owner and dog would be gone.<br />If this happens again, please take action. This dog needs help.<br />Genevieve, Flagler Pl.

Please consider other alternatives:<br />- Washington Humane Society has an emergency call line: To Report Cruelty/Neglect and Animal Emergencies 24-Hours a Day<br />202-BE-HUMANE (202-234-8626) <br />- Ask someone who is walking their dog (since they might be considered "dog people" and more willing and able to help)<br />- Call 311<br />I hope the guardian quickly found their dog and that he is warm and well indoors now. . . <br />Alexandra, Seaton Pl.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279547392063948604noreply@blogger.com
