She took the dog home and placed her safely in a crate. That night, the owner's son returned her calls and texts (number on collar) and came out to pick her up. He said she had been lost for 3 days. 

Embury rescued LuLu (gray pit bull) from the streets in 2015 in Hawaii. When Embury moved back to FL in 2016, she brought LuLu (and Boo) back home with her. Eventually, a permanent loving home was found for Lulu.
