If you see her again, I'd suggest using food to get her to trust you. I know that when I was a kid, my dog, Spirit who was a Spitz, was either dropped off at my house or she found her way to my house, through the woods. She was a stray who had been badly abused, by her previous owners, atleast, I'm guessing from how jumpy she is. It took her a couple of weeks to warm up to me. I would feed her each day, seperating her food from my other dogs. She eventually trusted me, once she realised that I wasn't going to hurt her. And she turned out to be one of the sweetest, most gentle, and loving dogs.

Maybe someone else was able to get to the dog, in question. Atleast, that's what I would guess, since you haven't seen her.
