LET'S TALK PETS - PATTY GIARRUSSOUSE OF FEEDING STATIONS TO CATCH LOST DOGS - KATHY POBLOSKIESoon after a dog is lost, it goes into survival mode.

You simply have to put food out at the same time every day and in the same place. Today Kathy Pobloskie, from Lost Dogs of America, will talk about the feeding station and establishing a regular feeding schedule.
