more context: I saw the dog in Academy Hills park and tried to lure it to me so I could read the tags, but it got scared off and ran across the street into El Camino Real apartments. It had a limp. I have a video, but I can’t add those on picture posts.

For everyone's safety, meet in a public place and never send money to strangers to recover a pet. Verify anyone who claims a pet before arranging a meeting.
