:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grabbed him and put him in my car and he has been with me ever since....my boyfriend loved him....he has no collar...we fed him a hamburger, gave him water, bought him a collar and leash....I've walked him....I've named him....I LOVE him already :) I just need to make sure no one is looking for him, but I really think he was just abandoned....he is so CUTE!  I will send you a picture later...we named him Wesley.  I will post a picture as soon as I upload them.
