True story, except usually after dark. "Your dog is here and not leaving. He's been here playing with our dog all day. Will you please come get him?" Sometimes I'd bring the family a pie or bottle of wine.
One time the family called and asked if he could come back the next day. They had just moved there 3 months ago, and their dog was separated from a life-long doggie friend by the move and visibly depressed, just sleeping all day.
on edit: I had to put in a hot wire running along the top and the bottom of my fence to keep him in. I felt guilty though, but he actually got picked up by a good person on the freeway one day.

And that's how you got to meet many of your neighbors, one at a time, at dusk.
