Dragging On
Loreta was struggling to win the dog’s trust. The day was dragging on torturously, but despite how uncooperative the dog was being, Loreta and Eldad were empathetic enough to not become frustrated. They also could not just lunge for the dog and try to snare it with the loop, as that could hurt the dog, or on the other hand, the dog could attack in defense. These were expert dog rescuers, and they knew better than that.

Doing Their Best
That being said, Loreta was running out of options and time. Although she was dedicated to helping this dog, she and Eldad did not have all the time in the world. Loreta then took things a step further, despite having been hesitant to confront the dog, and tried throwing the snare around the dog’s neck like a lasso. This did not work, of course, and the dog merely coiled away. It was clear that getting physical in any way with the quivering pooch was out of the question.
