Well, I don't have any pictures of this. But in 2004, I was at my friends house and their neighbors had found a beagle but they had to go. They were going to take the beagle to a kill shelter in a different county or something. UMM no, I would never allow that. So me, my friend, and her sisters, and my sister took the dog. We fed her, gave her water, and played with her to. Then we began to look for her owners. I took a leash from my house(we live right down the block.)and began walking the dog. She seemed intent on going up the block, so why not allow it? We let her off the leash, she was an awesome girl, very well behaved and never strayed away from us. Well, we found no one, so I hooked the leash back on and walked up the block agian. Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention that she had no tags, but a collar on and she was very overweight so I knew she HAD to have an owner. We walked past a house where people were sitting on the steps and they yelled "where did you get that dog?!". Well we explained everything, and now we get to visit her every so often. I approached them on the subject of getting a liscence. Turns out they had just moved into the house the day before and the old name tag said she was from New york. Luckily, she didn't have that tag or we would have taken a wasted drive up there. They did get her a new liscense and we are allowed to see her anytime we want. I have seen her twice after the "rescue". Also, they told us they hadn't even known she was gone.

I don't know if you would count this as a lost and found story because it happened in a matter of 4-6 hours but I like to share it anyway.

CoCo-
Her thread:
http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...=coco+muttlies

Coco was found by my friend. She brought her over my house thinking she was Kiara. Their parents would not allow her to keep them, so we kept her.

I fell complety in love with this girl - she fit in so perfectly and I wanted to badly for her to be mine. I don't think there's another dog, other than my three, that I think about so often.

I ended up finding her owners thru PetFinder. About a week or so after we reunited them, they called asking if we wanted her. Coco kept getting out and they thought she'd be happy with our family. I would have said yes in a heartbeat but my parents said no.

I have tears in my eyes writing this... this girl just completely stole my heart.


She came over once for a playdate with Kiara, but since then I have not heard from her owners.



Vincezo -
His thread:

My brother and father found Vincenzo and his owner being pulled away in the ocean. The paramedics wanted to take the dog to the pound but we said we'd keep him until she as able to get out of the hospital. The lady was almost lifeless. The lady was brought to the hospital, signed herself out, and then was arrested later that night. We also had he cell phone, as my brother looked up and down the beach to find someone and found her bag. Her cellphone was dead so we had to track down a charger and had to find somehow to get in contact with this lady as the police were not telling us anything.
We finally got in contact with her father who had NO clue what was going on. All he knew we he got a phone call saying she was arrested.

We told my neighbor who works for channel 10 news and she said we HAD to do a story about this. We ending up on the 11 o'clock news, Dad, Vince, and myself. This was when we still had no clue how the lady was, where she was, or what we were supposed to do with her dog.

Meantime, falling in love, with a perfect addition to me three. Didn't they look like a family?

We have not heard much from the lady, but her parents were very grateful. The sent us a gift certificate in the mail and couldn't say thank you enough.
