I saw a dog on the highway today

I was going to work this morning and there was a beautiful brown, short hair dog sitting on the side of the road between the feeder road and the highway.  I was not in a place to stop, so I called it in and went on down the road.  The only place for me to exit was about 3 miles on down then I had to drive 5 miles back to get to him.  I went to work and got the work van and started back.  He was still there.  So I called again.  The animal control officer called me back.  She has been trying to catch this dog for 3 weeks.  Apparently someone has dumped him and he is being fed from some of the restaurants near there.  She has set 3 traps and checks them several times a day.  He won't go in the traps to get the food.  She has even put cat food in them.  No luck.  She says she is not going to give up.  She says she has tried every day to get him to come to her, but he just runs off.  Keep your fingers crossed she gets him and he does not get  run over.  I will try to get him if he is there tomorrow.
