[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1784970, member: 40255"] There are endless scenarios that could play out. He may have lost his person. Years ago I lost one of my hounds. Three of them hit a cold trail late in the day. By dark I could hear nothing of them. Rained hard that night. I found two of them, Hanna and Little Mira, early the next morning at a watchman's trailer. Both very foot sore. The other hound, Elmira, was nowhere to be found. I spent 3 weeks running the roads and talking to people. No one had seen her, heard any hound or seen any tracks. The weather had turned really cold, snow and sleet. A month after I lost Elmira I received her collar in the mail with a note saying she had starved to death over on the east side of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. We had been hunting west of that wilderness area in the Pistol River drainage. How she wound up there I will never know. The distance she would have had to travel as the crow flies would have been 25-30 miles. She should have returned to the Pistol River drainage with the other two hounds instead of going east. Why she starved was she would not allow anyone to catch her, so no one would put food out for her. I was told the reason the guy sold her to me was because when she would tree and when the guy hiked into the tree, she would take off and hide out. In the time I had her she never pulled off a tree. I always considered myself fortunate to have had Elmira, she was a super nice hound. She loved puppies, it didn't matter if they were hers or not, they were all welcome to sleep in her dog house and eat out of her dish. [B]Now back to the shepherd [/B] This shepherd doesn't look like he has seen any real hard times. Keep feeding him. Someday there maybe some answers to his past and how he came to be where he is. There are a lot of possibilities. Not all people do facebook. [/QUOTE]
