No use calling animal control, since I live in a very rural area, where
there is no animal control.
Trying to find out who owns the dogs is impossible, since everyone around
here lives on 5 acres or more.
The dogs just disappeared into the desert landscape.
Therefore there are no legal steps I can take to recoup my loss.
