Feedback: The dog's gone; big white puppy traveled on

ColumbiaMagazine.com,

Just wanted to let ya know the dog's gone. She was here for two days, got fed and treated for fleas/ticks, and then disappeared. I only hope wherever she is, she's being cared for better than she appeared to be when she showed up here. Thanks for the ad.
