Yes, Margie has pegged the amusing element, though I appreciate their worry and concern. We came across a couple of "stray" dogs this past weekend and had to think long and hard about what we should do on their behalf.

@Twelvebit: I collect posters of lost dogs because I don't have enough room to collect lost dogs. I am perpetually moved by their implied stories. I can't imagine how I would survive the disappearance of my dog, Tess

I hope your thinking long and hard involved getting the dogs scanned to see if they'd been chipped. What was the outcome?
Well, it's complicated. Unfortunately, it's not as simple was whether or not they were lost. Apparently, they weren't. The long and hard part was mostly determining whether or not we should take the dogs away from the people who "owned" them and were providing questionable care.
