Today I decided to walk home from work...I got my dad to drop Zeke off so I could walk him then instead of after. It's about 40-50min walk. I was about 15 mins from home, and I see this dog running around in someones yard. (keep in mind, I'm walking down on of the main roads, and at 5:30 especially, it's a busy road!!) So I'm thinking who is the idiot who let their dog run out in the yard like that? I didn't think much more till I got up to the dog. Once the dog saw Zeke he ran up to us, then darted off into the traffic! I nearly screamed in shock cause it was VERY close to being hit. He came back in, and I tried to get him to come. I offered treats and everything, but it seemed all I was doing was pushing it to the traffic. I went into someones yard trying to get him to follow me. He darted back into the traffic and again, narrowly avoided being hit! This time he stopped in the road and just looked at me...in the MIDDLE of the road!! The people stopped and waited for the dog...but one person got impatient and zoomed off. Eventually the dog ran to the other side of the road and started off into someone elses back yard. The dog didn't seem to like Zeke I guess...I figured it was on a safe street anyway (hardly any traffic) so I decided to take Zeke home, and go back out in the truck to look for it. Unfortunatly, I didn't find the dog, so I really hope someone picked it up. It really scared me when it kept going out in traffic! I didn't know what to do. People must have thought I was a horrible owner letting my dog out in the road...I suppose the probably knew it wasn't mine though. Poor dog, I hope it's ok.
