That dog may not be lost. He was have been put there deliberately by the owner. With hard times, folks have problems keeping pets. Your place may have looked like a place that would take sympathy on him and find him a good home. From the sound of your fencing, that is my bet.

It happened last year to a friend with horses. Came home to three new nags in the pasture. All fences secure, all gates closed.
