    Lookie what I found!

    I went to town this morning to get some groceries. I tried last night and got so frustrated that I just walked out! Today I went to the quiet, non-chain store. The higher price was well worth the lack of aggravation! Got what I needed, picked up some lunch and was on my way home on the Alaska Highway when motion in the ditch caught my eye.


    It was this handsome guy! He came flying out of the ditch; darn near got himself run over and then froze in pure fear. I pulled over and called him a few times. He wouldn't move, but he let me walk right up to him and quite happily trotted beside me back to my truck. Fortunately, I always have a leash and a treat bag in the truck!

    He has a phone number on his tag, but no other information and no one is answering the number. I tried reverse searching the number but it's unlisted. I've left a message so hopefully they call back soon. He's a very nice dog and obviously well cared for--he knows the basic commands, very friendly, neutered, takes food gently, and is well socialized to other dogs. He was completely nonplussed by the chaos his arrival caused! He's hanging out in Tehya's pen until his owners call me back.

    What what a beautiful dog. I always carry a leash & treats too, but
    never ran into a pooch like that. Sounds so trained & cared for, I hope
    the owners can reclaim him soon.

    Gorgeous creature! Wonder if his family is away, and he escaped from his sitter?

    He's such a handsome boy!! I think he must have an owner somewhere. If not, he's found the best home in the Yukon

    Thanks Barry!

    How does one "get frustrated" in a grocery store?

    Now back to the Lookie What Tail ...

    Nice that you didn't hold it against him,
    BUT ...


    Your "stray" sure looks a lot like a German Shepherd ...
    Think he'll make a Sled Dawg?

    The Husky Mob musta thunk Mom flipped her mynd ...
    or that Dawg Peddler was a really FAST talker!

    Glad The Yukon Rescue Lady isn't biased!
    GOOD on 'ya, Tamara!!

    See? There was a REASON you couldn't get the groceries that evening and had to wait and go on that road the next day! A VERY IMPORTANT reason, and quite handsome reason, too! Sure hope his family cares about him! Good for you to help him.

    Two tills open, packed store, clerk with no idea how to ring through a case of tomatoes that was an advertised special, no response from her repeated calls for a supervisor...I decided making salsa could wait a few more days and just left!

    The stray definately has GSD in him, but he's not a purebred. He's probably a husky-GSD mix. He'd probably make a fine sled dog, but I'm hoping I don't have to find out.

    No call from his people yet. I called AC and the shelter just in case he has escaped from a dogsitter who isn't checking the home voicemail.

    Phred, you are so funny! He is gorgeous. If you didn't have all the dogs you have now, I'd kind of wish the owner never called.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    What a sweetie!! I bet someone is missing him, he sounds like a very well loved pet from the way you described him. Ya know, if no one ever calls back he WILL need a home?

    I hope someone will call back though! Good luck!

    Cool! I've never found anything quite so handome in a ditch beside the road! He looks like GSD-husky mix - that's quite a set of long legs on him! His family will probably be very happy someone responsible found him. He looks like a happy boy. Hope you hear from them soon.
