Missing a Dog in Summerside

Last night I was out in my garage BBQ'ing a steak before the hockey game when I noticed a dog walking down the street all by himself dragging a leash behind him. I went to get him and he came with me no problem. He was well kept and had a colar but no identification. I then phoned around the neighbourhood talking to various pet owners but nobody owned this dog. Obviously it is someones pet and not a stray as he was very well kept and friendly. I called police dispatch and nobody had called there to report a missing dog. I kept him here for a few hours, fed him and gave him some water. He watched the first two periods of the game with me but my poodle was getting jealous. Phoned dispatch again and nobody called. With no identification it is difficult for me to do anything- tried calling the radio stations and it is impossible to reach a live voice and getting the run around from their voice messages. I had dispatch send the dog cather down and they will keep him the the kennel for 5 days.

Many people do not know to call police dispatch if your dog is missing so hopefully the owner finds out to call City Police and they can bring their dog home. Hope they also get an identification for his collar. I will keep checking to see if someone claims him.
