it never gets easier, that's for sure.

We've had various dogs over the years - rescues, dogs returned to their breeders with "problems" etc. My daughter is the "dog whisperer" - she found one in our neighborhood one day without a collar so we drove it to our vet and thankfully it was chipped. He lived over in the next subdivision and made it across a smaller but sometimes busy suburban road after digging out of his yard. The family was so happy to have him back! Things happen sometimes (and the no collar did annoy me!), but ultimately, I was just glad we got him safely back to his home.
