Lost Dog

I'm sure all of us have seen posters or flyers of missing pets taped to light poles, etc. but seeing a lost dog flyer under water just gave me a whole other feeling. I always feel sorry for pets that are missing and wonder why they are lost but I also feel some hope that the animal will be found and returned. This photo brought on a whole different feel. It made me feel that the dog was somehow dead and the situation was hopeless just from seeing it in a different environment.....under water. It felt like the dog was forgotten....truly lost. Of course, as I looked throughout the neighborhood, I also saw the same flyer on posts, so it was just an extra that got away. I hope the dog was found. It's funny how the presentation of an object can affect its meaning and feeling.
