Hi Chris, @johnbishop also shared a story about rounding up some wildish kittens for adoption. Lucy is a damaged dog who indeed lives on her own terms. She is fearful, but free to come and go as she pleases. A "pet" dog lives at the house Lucy lives under. He is chained, has a small house to go into and no attention is paid to him whatsoever. What dog is better off, the neglected dog with a home or the stray who manages to survive by her wits? Lucy looks healthy. I worry she has heart worm, but also realize there's a limit to what I can do for her. There would be less abused and neglected animals if more people were kind. All the best, Teri
