One of the things we hate most are those screening programs, where we respond to an email and get a message that says something like "to control spam, we only reply to pre-approve email addresses" or something like that, which says no, we're not accepting your email.
This is a cautionary tale of how it can go wrong.
Tim and Susan sent us this:

And reader Trish sent us this:
I found a male chow wandering down Altadena Drive about a 1/2 mile up from the Eaton canyon entrance. He had a choke collar but no tags. I walked the neighborhood for a bit looking for a frantic owner but had no luck.He is well behaved, groomed, clean teeth and has nice pads. Im sure he wasn't out to long. With the heat as it is, I took him home to give him a safe, cool place to wait for his owners.Can you put a posting up to help me find his people?361.728.7399 is my cell

We decided to handle this thru email -- but both party's email addresses rejected our response. So we're handling it online. One of you needs to call the other and get Rocky home!
