   On 13th Ave SW between Cloverdale and Trenton, there is a white dog that hangs out in a yard on the East side of the street and wanders the block. Does anyone have any information about this dog? Does it need help? It's getting cold at night and it doesn't seem to have shelter.

   If the dog is friendly please get it on your car and take to west Seattle animal clinic. They can check for a chip and board until Seattle animal shelter can pick up. Questions? Pls call 321-4719

   I know this dog. She's an older dog (all white, yes?). She lives at the house which was painted late this summer - with a wood door, yes?

   She wonders around but heads back to her yard eventually. She's really a goof ball with my dog and will start to follow us to play and then turn around toward home a few houses down the block. She is an elderly dog.

   She should NOT be picked up and removed from the street, but perhaps a knock on the family's door expressing your concern would be ok. As far as the cold weather, she is a husky shep mix so I think she probably can handle some amount of outdoor exposure for awhile.

   I am so glad the dog has a home, but seriously, from one dog owner to anther, please do not allow your pet to roam free! Loose dogs worry people for good reasons and someone will eventually pick it up and bring it to a shelter. Hopefully, when that happens, the dog is chipped and makes their way home. I had the horrible experience of hitting a loose dog when I was a teenage driver. Luckily, I was going very slow and braked in enough time so that the poor thing was only lightly injured, but honestly, the sounds that it made while we drove it to a vet will stay with me forever. It was a horrible experience and one that could have been avoided as we later learned that the dog had been allowed to roam around unsupervised in the front yard because he “had never left the yard on his own before”.

   I appreciate the concern for the dog. This is a new turn of events, as I have not noticed her out and about and I've been walking by there for years. I think a few direct,diplomatic, concerned words to the owners by a good neighbor might achieve the objective.
