My SO and I were driving through a very seedy/unsafe part of Nashville this evening and there was a dog trying to walk through traffic. I wanted to stop right then and try to talk to her, but I didn't. My SO told me that if she was still there when we were leaving town we could stop and see if we could get her to come up to us.
20 minutes later I saw her walking around a grocery store parking lot eating trash, so I made my SO pull into the parking lot. She would not come near me no matter what I did. My SO got out some snacks we had in our truck and threw them out to her, and she ate some of them, but refused to get close enough for us to actually touch her.
We tried for more than 10 minutes and I didn't want to leave her there, but I didn't know what else to do. Staying in that parking lot was attracting a lot of attention that we didn't want to be part of, so we had to leave. She was a young dog but she was *very* scared of humans. Do I try and go back during the day or do I just leave her be? She looked/acted so sweet, but so scared of people that it was damn near impossible to get her to work past that. I'm pretty sure she will still be there tomorrow, because she acted like she knew the area she was in. Poor baby.
