Wow it's been such a busy week this week. Starting with a doggy rescue on Monday morning after dropping my hubby off to work. I was driving back to pick up the eldest for school when I saw the most gorgeous little dog almost get skittled by a big 4WD. He was only a pup with absolutely no road sense and no collar on, so I stopped my car and called him over. He was not afraid at all which made me think that there was someone who was going to be really upset that he was missing. I knocked on a ladies door to see if she had seen him around, hoping that I might be able to find his owners right there and then, but no. So I took him home.
I did all the usual things rang the pound left my name and his description, rang the local vets and did the same thing. Waited a couple of days but no one claimed him. So I put signs up down the street I found him on hoping that would work. Next morning I received a phone call from an exstatic young man looking for his little dog.
Happy to say the little dog that my kids named Jack (he was a jack russel) was returned to his rightful owners non the worse for wear since he didn't have to be couped up in a cage at the pound. With some motherly advice about making sure that their little dog had his collar on next time. I'm still surprised that the guys didn't ring the pound but I guess when your that young you just don't think about that stuff.
My little ones were very upset that they had lost their little dog even though we had explained that he wasn't ours to keep and that we would have to give him back if the people who owned him came to get him.
But my logical ten year old stated "that since the owners didn't have kids and that they hadn't made sure he didn't run away we should be allowed to keep him" Mmmmmmm outta the mouth of babes heheheheheheheh.
Little Jack
