I rescued a Dog tonight~

Tonight, on our way home from work, we were at an intersection & all of a sudden there was this pretty make golden lab running in & out of traffic.

I saw him almost get hit at least twice. SO I made my husband pull over to a parking lot, in this tiny, tiny town, so I could rescue him. He so hates it when I do this stuff, but still, I could not let this dog get hit by a vehicle.

He was just running around, looking at each vehicle like he was looking for him. Tail waggin, tounge lolling about - he was very cute. I called him over to me & asked him to jump into the back of our Explorer - he did right away. Sat nice in the back & stayed when I told him to stay & sat when I told him to sit.

So we drove to this one house where I know they have two golden lab's. Nope - they still had theirs (even though they let them run loose all over).

So then I went back to the interection & went to the little grocery store there & took a chance. Went in & asked if they knew anyone that had a golden lab. They said they had seen the dog out in traffic, and maybe the dog belonged to the owners Dad.

1st I was a little mifted that they did not try to help the dog, they said they saw him out in the road & almost was hit.

2nd, they didn't seem very nice about any of it. They called the man & yes it was his dog & he drove right over (a few blocks). I thanked them repeatedly for calling him too.

The man was very nice & was so glad that I had helped out his dog Jones, whom I know like to call Jonesie. He shook my hand, asked my name & thanked me. I told him he has a great dog - listened real well & all. He said that sometimes he will try to go to the shop when they are still at home - or something like that. I was just thinking....could you buy a $3.99 dog tag at WalMart....please!?!

So I went home, feeling good that Jonesie was back home safe & sound again....hopefully for good!
