If some grouch does call him in, the dog catcher picks him up and drops him off at home. Such are the ways of small towns, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
That reminds me of being in Sisters Oregon a couple of weeks ago. There was a lazy old dog laying in front of an art and sculpture store that I went in to browse.
After browsing a few minutes, I saw the dog walk into the store. I tried to shoosh it back out, then realized it seemed to know exactly where it was headed. So, it was the one at home and I was the visitor.
It just seemed to ignore me, and most everyone else.
