Tobes & Arch to the rescue!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

We were out on our walkies last night when a lady came rushing up to me "have you seen a big, black dog?" she asked - her children had left the door open and he had escaped

I said "not yet and exactly how big??"

before she answered this huge, black labrador came charging round the corner but stopped when he saw my boys. Although the woman and her friend were able to catch him he had no collar or lead and there was no way that they could have got him back to the house.

Although I had a few misgivings, I offered them the use of Archie's collar and lead, thinking all the time "pay it forward, random act of kindness, etc, etc". The boys and I sat and waited and to my utter delight they came back with the lead and lots of "thank yous". We continued our walk feeling just that little bit better with the world

Don't you just love being at the right place at the right time to help out!

Good job! Someone did that for me once when we first got Roscoe and the bugger got out Talk about panic time! But it was so nice to have someone there to help out, it made all the difference.

Yup, they escape from the yard and you don't think, you just dash off beind them! Who stops and says, "gee, maybe I should run in, get my shoes on, grab a collar and leash?"

So glad you and the boys were able to lend a hand!

Exactly!

Thankfully we think we have found a way to make it easier to catch Koli if she ever gets out again. The Magic White Box which always procures DELICIOUS food. Good fortune on our side we haven't had to test this theory. We've been kind of doing practice drills since what you said has happened. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get an escape artist Husky home with no leash AND maneuver a mountain bike?
