Mistaken Identity

A little while ago, one of my neighbors rang my doorbell. She thought that Buster had gotten out. (She didn't know his name, but she's seen me out with him.) There was, indeed, a Buster-ish dog in the driveway, and when I called to him by that name he came to me willingly, but as soon as I got a good look and feel, I could see he wasn't. Wrong collar, shorter legs, more pugged nose... no tags. (I think he's a purebred Lhasa Apso, or closer to that than Buster is.) She decided to put the dog in her garage (she has one of her own, who doesn't get along with other dogs, in the house) and call the animal shelter in hopes that he's chipped. I think it's likely; the fancy harness he was wearing suggests someone who takes steps. On the other hand, I haven't gotten a notice from HomeAgain; but they don't generally do that until the owner contacts them, usually a day or more after.

Hope the pup gets back home!
