Update on the dog - I decided to take him for a walk today, about a half mile to 11 yr olds school, then she could walk him home. Little shit slips out of his collar a block from the school, so I followed him back to my house, put him in and went back to meet my daughter
The "glass is half full" part of me is just glad he could find his way home after only a week since he wouldn't let me pick him up to get his collar back on, but the other part of my brain is despairing that this dog is never going to like me
