I was driving from Tucson to Brian Head and this guy was walking in the desert along side the road. At first I thought coyote but got closer and saw it wasn't. It took about 30 minutes to get his trust with some string cheese to where he'd let me touch him. Soon he'd lie down and let me pet him. I put a leash on him and he freaked out so I took it off. Finally I was able to pick him up (he wasn't hurt) and put him in the truck. This was north of Flagstaff and Cameron on 89. Not much there.
I stopped in Page hoping their animal control was open but it wasn't. There appeared to be a animal sanctuary in Kanab but they were closed when I called. I passed two Kane County, UT deputies parked on the side of the highway, turned around, and stopped and asked if Kane County has a shelter. They were very helpful, called ahead to Kanab to Kanab PD, and a Sergeant met me at the shelter. It is a no kill so that was good.
He's super sweet and I hope I didn't take someone's dog 150 miles away from home. I think he was on a reservation but there were no homes for several miles. Besides the string cheese he'd eaten macaroni somewhere along the way. We found that out the messy way. Twice.
