@lor83131 you are being so rude and it’s crazy saying I don’t have a brain cell, yet I stayed there an hour with the dog calling every number possible to get her help. Please try and be kind to people especially when you do not know the situation. I truly hope you have the day you deserve

bomaywdJun 20 at 6:37 PM

@bronxUser1702148003 thank you for staying with her, what you did is amazing

@bronxUser1702148003 as a dog walker I can say that you did everything right. You called all the right people that might be able to help and putting it out on Citizen app is the fastest way to find someone that knows the dog. Also giving it treats to keep it near you was a great idea. Don’t listen to the idiots on here who have no idea what they’re talking about. You did the best you could given the circumstances!

the person filming did more than you losers always critical of everything anyone does to help when none of you do shit for anyone just complain about those who do

glenheadUser1657327023Jun 20 at 1:23 PM
