Public Service Anouncement--Lost pets

[atxbrad]

This is just a feel good story for me that I thought I would share.

I left the house this evening at about 11:30 to run a errand and a Jack Russell Terrier ran across the street about 2 blocks down the road. I know that its 11:30 and the owners of this dog are probably sound asleep and no telling how far he will run through out the night.
I stop and call the dog over, check his coller, and call the number on it. Luckly the owner lived a few houses up and came right out to pick up his dog who had escaped during a potty break.

Just a reminder if you see something like a pet that is someplace that they shouldnt be, take a few minutes from your day and do the right thing.

I know I would be devistated if I lost my dog. Take the time and stop and call. You have no idea how much that means to a pet owner unless you have them.

I am glad to hear there are more people out in the urban wilderness willing to be different by trying to be helpfull. Kudos.

Thanks for caring, doing the right thing and posting this thread. It's a scary feeling to lose a pet, I'm sure those folks were appreciative.

I would like to thank you, atxbrad.

My dog is partly a certain breed that is used to hunt jackrabbits and run down antelope. He's quick, clever, and stubborn. He's gotten out several times and can end up a mile away in just a few minutes. Every time, I've been lucky enough that a kind person was not afraid of this giant (but friendly) beast and called me to pick him up.

It's crazy how attached you can get to a dog.
