Last night at around 7:00Pm my little brother came home and told me that a little dog was following him and his friend around the neighborhhod and tring to get into his friends house. So of course I immediately ask him to bring me to the dog.
It was a gray and white Shih Tzu. He was very friendly and looked well cared for. He had a short hair cut, was pleasently plump ect. So I picked him up and brought him to my house to look at his tags (yes he did have tags) and to my surprise it said he lived in Maryland:eek: :eek:and his name was Harper. So we tried the phone number but no one answered. So we decided someone probably was visiting for Thanksgiving and lost him.
So I knew I couldn't leave him to run the street. It very cold out, large dogs, Foxes, and cars, who nows what. So I put a leash on him and asked him to show me were he lived. He immediately pulled me down the street, down a driveway and up a walk way right to the front door of a house. He sat down and started to bark. So I knocked and knocked and no one answered. So I took Harper back to my house.
While standing outside I heard someone whistling and Harper started to pull. So back we went down the road towards the whistling and there was two people frantically looking for something. They saw me with Harper and yelled "Hey there he is" and I asked them if they were missing something.
They were VERY happy to see him, and Harper was happy to see them. They asked how long I had him. (about 30min) I told them that Harper was following the kids all around. And they said "We though so" And unhooked the leash and lt him loose again!!. So what I can gather is they let him loose to go to the bathroom without watching him:mad: They said "Thanks so much" and walked back to the house NEXT to were the dog THOUGHT he was staying at (In my neighborhood all the houses look the same) so they left before I could give them a peice of my mind!!
How could you let your dogs loose in a place it doesn't even know? Your asking for it to get lost/killed.
oh well, At least he found his owners and could go inside and get warm. Just some people are just so stupid!!!!!
