An adorable white dog continues to hang out in a northwest Bakersfield lot, and it appears it doesn't want to be caught.

We first reported on the abandoned dog Wednesday night on 17 News at 5. Since then, viewers have expressed sadness and some have offered to help catch it.

The SPCA tried, but were unsuccessful in rounding up the dog in the field off Renfro Road on Thursday morning. And, a rescue group from Los Angeles also tried Thursday evening.

I went out there yesterday, I am from Lake of the Woods, above Frazier Park, and I took food and water and was intending to do as one other person commented I took a blanket and was going to just lay there and read in hopes she would not feel threatened and come up to me, but I was never able to see her, I waited out there for a long time, and had to get back to my 3 canine babies, I am praying so much she wll be safe and caught before she gets ill or hurt.I wish I had her she is so much like my precious Ciara I lost in 2006, she passed away in my arms of old age, by the way, she is a Chow Chow mix.

This is the way I catch my nearly feral cats. I know this sounds weird, but just lay down on the ground and be still. The animal will eventually come up to you and may just lie down beside you when it realizes you are no threat. It works every time I've tried it.
