Dog shows up on Vanhoy Lane on 10 ft piece of chain 2016-11-11 - Vanhoy Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Cathy Luttrell. This dog showed up at my house on Vanhoy Lane during the night. I believe it is a male. Very friendly. Had about a 10 foot piece of chain and a tie out stake still attached. I don't believe he's been loose very long. The owner can contact us at 270-634-4266. I can't keep him here because I have 2 small house dogs. So I hope someone claims him before I have to call the dog warden. Cathy Luttrell (Ad) Related: CM Animals for everything pets.
