But when Tony Polumbo, owner of Say It In Neon, saw a dog tied to the fire hydrant across the street from his home, he decided to offer the pup a temporary home.The black and white dog that he has named Bandit because of the markings on its face %u2014 one side black, one side white %u2014 is now residing in his shop on Third Ave., but Polumbo, who has two dogs at home, is desperately on the search for someone to adopt the year old dog.%u201cWhen someone leaves a dog like that right in front of you, you can%u2019t leave it there to die,%u201d he says. The apparent owner of the dog, when questioned by a neighbor who saw him abandon him, merely said that he did not want it and left. The male dog is housebroken and leash trained. %u201cThe only possession he had was his leash,%u201d Polumbo points out, %u201cbut he is wonderful with people, and he takes the leash in his mouth when he wants to go for a walk.%u201d Call Polumbo at 625-1418 if you would like to adopt Bandit. %u2014 L.K.Sister Plans ForumThe Brooklyn Sister City Project is sponsoring a public forum on the borough%u2019s sister city relationship with San Juan de Rio Coco, Nicaragua Nov. 14, at the Park Slope Community Center.
