Mikey gave me the biggest scare of my life today!!
First of all, I wasn't there, I was in Manhattan, but anyway this is all coming from my mom.
My mom was picking Mikey up after a trip to Disney World last week. He had a grooming and his collar was extremely loose. My mom was walking out of the kennel with Mikey and the kennel attendant. He somehow got off the collar and ran into the road. It's on a busy country road with people whizzing by, speeding! The kennel girl took off SPRINTING with a dislocated knee. My mom got the car, 'cause when he used to run away from his old owners they said he'd jump in an open car. A guy who just got his dogs from the kennel took off after Mikey. A woman stopped her car and asked if they needed help. She began blocking traffic and the kids in the car were helping the chase. My mom started running after him at some point during his 20 minute escapade. He ran up someones driveway, thank god cause he chases and lunges at cars! I am working on that but apparently it isn't entirely cured. He scared a cat off someones deck and followed under the deck! My mom followed him and he heard the leash and he was play bowing at the cat and at them. He thought this was a HUGE play session apparently. My mom said "TREAT!! TREAT!!!" and he finally came over. My mom said she tackled him and he didn't know what hit him!! She called me after and I was crying like an idiot but he's okay!
I really don't know how much more gray hairs this dog is gonna give me before I am 20. Moral of the story: NEVER LET A PSYCHO PUGGLE OFF THE LEASH. He is NEVER going anywhere without a harness again.
I think my mom is going to put an ad in the Newspaper for everyone who helped out and she gave the kennel girl a huge tip. I am so grateful for the amazing people who helped. The lady who stopped said she knows what it's like to loose a dog in the middle of the woods.
WOO, Mikey either has a huge death wish or extreme luck! PROBABLY both!
