Komu's search for Lion


Komu didn't find Lion today.  We searched from 10 to 1, with ideal weather conditions.  The conditions in the neighborhood were not ideal.  We didn't receive permission from about 25% of the neighbors, and some of the areas we were allowed to search had tall grass, blackberries, or broken glass and garbage.  Komu worked very hard, checking everywhere I asked.  He found a white cat sitting in a window, visually, not by scent.  I saw another white cat run off before he got close.  I also found a black cat under a mobile home, where Komu did not have access.  We did not find any signs of a struggle, although that may have been hard to find in the tall grass.

Komu was bitten by a Husky, which was my fault.  We thought we had permission to search the yard.  The Husky was tied up.  He  didn't bark, and he wagged his tail in a friendly manner when Komu approached.  As soon as Komu got close enough, the Husky nipped him on the snout.  I checked Komu for injuries, and coldn't see any.  A few hours after we got home, his right eye was swollen, although he didn't seem to mind.  He played with Kelsy and zoomed around the house in spite of the hard day's work and the swollen eye.

    I enjoyed the story and what it can be like doing a search in a neighborhood. Good dog Komu!
