Lost dog finds way into hearts at LWC. They can't keep 2013-02-19 - Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY - Photo by Kacie. THIS DOG RAN INTO THE BUILDING AND WAS PANTING and had a limp. We brought her inside our office and gave her some water and she is taking a nap. I didn't see anyone around with her and I have never seen her roaming around. She is very lovable, had a collar but no tag. We are at the college so we can't keep her here overnight; unless one of us can take her home for the night. We weren't sure if we should just put her back outside or try and find her owner. KACIE at Lindsey Wilson College No other contact information.
