Lab on the Loose

My worse fear became reality today. On the path at the park, I saw a lab off leah heading toward us. He was an intact male that was on the thin side. I was waiting to see the owner following. NO OWNER. I put myself between the pugs and this stray. I kept my shoulder towards him. His hair was standing up on his back and his tail was wagging but it wasn't raised up over his back. He wasn't making any sounds. He didn't seem aggressive but the hair standing up on his back made me question his intentions. He kept circling around me trying to get close to the pugs. Sh_ _ , I left my pepper spray at home. I'm not capable of picking up two pugs and holding them at the same time. To top it off when the stray got really close trying to sniff Sidney, Sidney backed up out of his collar. I panic and snatched him up into my arms putting his collar back on. After a lot of manuering around, the dog finally went on his way. I realized that my cell phone was in my pocket. So I called animal control at the SPCA. I headed back to my car and put the boys inside. When Animal control arrived, they weren't able to catch the stray. When I was about to leave the park, Tony showed up with Oreo -a very tiny mixed breed. I warned him about taking Oreo on the path. While we were hanging out talking, two women with pugs were walking toward us in the parking lot. Following right behind them was the stray lab. Since I didn't want this dog to get out into the road and get hit plus he was pretty thin ... definitely needs a meal, I called the SPCA back. They loaded him up in their truck. They said that they have a 90 percent chance of finding his owners. The dog did have a collar but not any tags. Hopefully he has a microchip or his owners have contacted the shelter looking for him.
