Caught two dogs, but not Lew

As I was out posting flyers this morning, we got the call about the noon sighting at Rockland and Ridgeway. I started driving around the area to see if I might be able to spot Lou. No such luck, but as I was driving by the elementry school, near the sightings at Stillwell and Ardennes, I saw a big black lab mix wondering around the school yard. Luckily, she was pretty friendly and with the help of some tasty treats I was able to lure and catch her. She had a license tag on him with a phone number scratched in the back. I called the number, but no one was home. I didn't have an address where she lived, so I was thinking I would have to take her to the shelter. Luckily, though, the number was a home number and I called a friend, who was able to look up the address. As I was talking to her, I noticed another dog who was wondering in the same area as the lab! Yikes! Making the assumption that they escaped from the same yard, I took the lab over to her and tried to get her. She was a bit more timid, but eventually decided she liked the treats enouph for me to get a leash on her. She too had a tag with the same number as the black dog. So we went off to find the house. No one was home, but one of the neighbors had a key to the house and was able to let them in.
