He just came and picked him up. He asked me if he came to our house or if I picked him up. I told him I called for him and he came up to me.
He said thank you and doesn't know why he keeps running away. I said "jokingly" that we may have to keep him and the guys said "I don't get it. He's happy at home. Maybe we will just put a dog dish at your house"
Then I said but seriously, if you decide you don't want him, we will take him.
I would just call animal control or take this dog to the shelter from now on. His owners need to learn a lesson before he gets hit by a car or stolen by someone else who doesn't have such great intentions.
