Happy Owner Gets Dear Pet Back
I was walking my dog in a nearby park Saturday night after dark. A very friendly and young adult lab came up to us and greeted us. He had no collar, no identification and no other people anywhere around. Given the cold winter night and streets with nearby, I was concerned for his safety so I brought him home. I gave him food and water and a warm place to sleep. Sunday morning, I posted the ‘found dog’ on the pets911 site and the humane society’s site. Within one hour of my posting, the owner called! He explained that his dear dog had been playing with another dog in their home and when the other dog ran outside, his dog playfully chased after and they disappeared into the night. The owner called and searched for hours and hardly slept at all, missing his dear companion. We met in the same park where I found the dog and I handed the dog back to the delighted owner. I had never met that man but I could clearly see the relief and joy in his face after many hours of fearing the worst and finally getting his beloved companion back, whole, safe and happy.
