    So Stef has never heard of dogs getting chipped? I, somehow, don’t think Luann is going to see that message on the bulletin board. =-/

    Well, im not searching that third panel for the notice. And they posted it miles away from where she found the dog. And in the one location you know the dog owner cannot live!!!

    This is what you call “minimum effort to prevent someone keeping you from what you want”. I join those here who predict that either Tiffany or Gunther will blow the proverbial whistle.

    Idiots, of course you try to find the owner. Take him to a vet to see if he’s chipped. Take pics and post them on line, Bets, you internet whiz. I’d go back to where I found him and ask around the neighborhood. If the dog park is nearby, go there and ask folks if they know the dog. Etc. They want to keep him, though. Hope Gunther or Bernice happen by—that’ll take care of it. Or Tiff blabs about the dog at the Fuse and Nancy (or others) hear.

    Hmmm. I think Puddles is looking around for a spot to go potty. There goes your room deposit. You know, animal urine is very hard to remove from floor materials, and since Puddles is a male, he will also pee on the legs of the furniture, a male tendency to mark on things. This is why I always have female dogs. My son brought his male dog to our house when he needed to live with us for a while. That dog marked all over the house. When they move out, we’re going to replace the entire flooring in the house except the master suite where he is prohibited. Females don’t mark and will hold until taken outside unless they were kept inside for too long which is not their fault.

    Is Greg trying to kill of “Luann?” I wonder because his continuation of this broadly disliked story about a kidnapped pet is making the strip a place to avoid. How many months is he going to draw out this story before Puddles is reunited with his family? Ann Eiffel’s three year reign of misery was bad, this is much worse.

    I take it that Luann would have called the local shelters. Stef could take an IPhone photo and email it to the shelters. But like Stef said, some people finding loose pets assumed they weren’t getting cared for.

    I’m just a crazy old evil COFFEE drinker.

    But if your gonna post a notice on the dorm bulletin board about finding a stray pooch, then Bets might as well post it on her social media thing.

    Either way, someone is going to figure out that somebody is harboring a pet in dorm in defiance of the “No dorm pets” policy. At least with Bets’ way, Pud will be reunited with his owners quicker.

    At least Stef is making a feeble attempt to find Pud’s owners……,

    My observations (for what it’s worth) Feb 14 – Do not see a collar. Feb 16 – Puddles tied to Shannon’s wagon. Not sure if it was tied to a collar or if all of that was what she put on him. Third panel – no Puddles. Feb 19 – Puddles back but don’t see any collar on him. Feb 20 – Don’t see a collar. Feb 23 – He goes through the fence. Looks like a collar stuck on the fence. Feb 24 – Definitely a collar on the fence. Feb 25 – None of her pictures show a collar on Puddles. March 3 – Stef saying: I so want him! Stef intends to keep him. Could be she really cares or maybe just the excitement of breaking dorm rules. The notice on bulletin board unlikely to be seen since it’s placed partially behind another posting. Although that one is for a car and has one phone number tab removed so maybe there’s hope someone will notice. Many posters here have said that the logical thing to do is put up flyers where she found him and take him to a vet to see if he’s chipped. That didn’t seem to go over well with Stef.

    I wonder how long it will be before Puddles return to his home. This could be a really long arc, but as long as Tiffany comes back, Bets tells Gunther that her roommate found a dog or Dez remembers where she saw him before and this will end up. Luann will never forget the pain and the fear of losing Puddles. I like this arc.

    Tif; even if you don’t know about “chipping” dogs (cats, etc.) why would you post a notice on the dorm bulletin board? Why assume that the dog you found belongs to a student. I presume that the others have the intelligence to post notices around where Tif found Puddles, and, use other methods to locate her, and, reunite her and Puddles.

    A lot of people are suggesting checking if Puddles is chipped. Just wondering, if it’s so easy to chip an animal, why can’t they chip babies before they leave the hospital? Think of all the future problems this would avoid. No more lost kids. No more kidnappings. No more divorced parents “stealing” their noncustodial children. No more unsolved disappearances or murders. No more runaways. Just thinking outloud.

    Someone probably already said it, but hopefully Tiff or Gunther recognize Puddles and return him to Luann…this is a time Bernice could come to the rescue…or Puddly-Pooh wanders off and finds Jack. The possibilities are endless. Here’s a thought…since that bulletin board is a disaster, post some “found” signs with Puddles picture. Luann can post some “lost” posters ‘duh. And how about calling the animal shelter and reporting it? When our puppy got out, the first thing we did was call the shelter, then posted “lost” posters everywhere and knocked on doors. The shelter’s information was updated every 24 hours, so we had to wait…it was grueling…but our boy knew just where to go. He went to the school where kids were playing and they took him to the principle. We’re we ever glad to get our boy back. My hubby immediately reinforced the area between the ground and fence to prevent our little escape artist from roaming about.

    Everyone knows Stef is brainless, but Bets isn’t looking so intelligent herself. She’s assuming Puddles “ran away from home.” Animals do wander off sometimes, and get lost, unfortunately. Oh, and Bets? Did Puddles remove his own collar before he “ran away from home?”

    Yeah, these two mental giants see a well-fed, well cared for animal like Puddles, and they immediately assume he had “bad owners,” and had to “run away.”

    How will Puddles get reunited with the DeGroots?

    (1) Will Dez finally remember why he seems familiar? (See strips of 2020/9/9-12.)

    (2) Will Tiffany recognize him?

    (3) Will Gunther (visiting Bets) recognize Puddles?

    (4) Will Bernice (visiting Dez) recognize him?

    (5) Will Puddles get loose again and find his own way home? (The fact that Frank saw Puddles in Stef’s car suggests that he may have been close to the DeGroots’ house when Stef picked him up.)

    (6) Will Puddles get identified thanks to his microchip, for example because Kip suggests getting him scanned or because he gets loose again and someone else finds him and gets him scanned? (I’ll go out on a limb and favor this outcome, since it would be very much in character for the Evanses to have the arc end up as a PSA for pet chipping.)

    (7) …?

    (8) …?

    (Infinity) Will he never get reunited with the DeGroots? (While that sort of thing happens all too often in real life, I think it’s quite unlikely to be the direction the authors are going with this story line.)

    (Infinity plus one) Will he somehow get identified thanks to somebody who reads the notice on the bulletin board in panel 3 and who also happens to have heard about Luann’s missing dog?

    To their credit, Stef and Bets are at least trying to do the Right Thing. But that bulletin board notice is likely to remain unnoticed in the clutter, and is in any case not very specific (there must be more than one “lost dog” in Pitts). Besides, Luann would probably not even glance at the bulletin board even if she did happen to walk past it!

    I hope Stef and Bets treat their new doggy well!

    I still can’t believe that these educated women haven’t thought of going to the animal shelter to check if the “lost puppy” has a microchip.

    The notice says lost dog, not found dog. They can’t even get the note correct.
