Lost Beagle?

I went for my lunch walk and had this beauty dart out into the street barking at me with excitement. He was young and didn't have a collar. I watched him wander around for a few minutes in and out of the road and decided to finish my walk to the end of the street and back home before deciding what to do with him. When I came back, he was roaming a particular house. I went home, ate my lunch, and decided that I'd walk back, get him, and then put him in my back yard to keep safe until I could go door to door and find his owner. I'd hate to see him hurt. When I got back he was content sitting on the front porch of the same house, and I decided to let him be. Hopefully he was ok and only temporarily out.
