The critter was across the street from where I live on State Route 81. He was near a large walnut tree, just yards from the Baptist Church.
At first glance, he looked like a stray dog, which is not an unusual sight in this area of town where dogs escape their confines or are dropped off by bad owners and left to fend for themselves.
The animal and I made eye contact. Thinking it was a stray dog, I tried to coax it to me with a sack of cat food that I happened to have in my hand.

Gary Hall of the Liberty Township Trustees reminds area resident that the recent rains have caused Woodlawn Cemetery to be under water at times.
"A lot of corn stalks are laying on the grass. Until the ground dries we are unable to clean up the cemetery," he said. "In the meantime, we will do our best to get it cleaned up. Thanks for your patience."

Hardin County has recently experienced heavy rains in the past week.
Producers may have concerns about nitrogen loss in cornfields. Nitrogen losses occur by two main pathways: de-nitrification, which is gaseous loss of nitrogen, and leaching of nitrate from the soil through water leaving the tile line or into groundwater. There is no tool or test that can tell us how much has been lost.
