I just live outside of the town. No, I haven't tried that, but I can't because i'm only 13. Plus we pretty much all think he was stolen. He gets out a lot and likes to cross the road to play with the other dogs who live there. We know he's still alive, and the day he was gone for hours there was a truck just down the road, we think maybe they just took him, it's very possible. So, thanks anyways, but what are we suppose to do if he was stolen???
