litttle lost dog spotted at 1st & V St NW

See this message from a household on the 2100 block of 1st Street NW:

We spotted a little dog in the middle of the intersection of V and First NW tonite. I sat down in the street and convinced him to come my way, and so he did, after a little while.

He looks a little bit like a Llasa Apso, but I'm no expert. I'm including a photo.

Here is a 1/5/2011 late afternoon update from the household that found this puppy at 1st & V Street NW:

The puppy that we found last night is now at the New York Ave Humane Society Shelter. He will be there for five days and upon evaluation, if not claimed, will be put up for adoption.

For claiming purposes we named the puppy Spencer. The vet believes he is a Shih Tzu and about a year old. He did not have a micro-chip and is not neutered.

Spencer is a great dog, happy and house trained.
