Dad & Brother saved a lady and dog - REUNITED!

**Kfamr** · 07-22-2006, 02:30 PM

We still have no information on her health, however we found out that she is from Hondouras.

The cell phone's area code lead to there. My mother
& sister are out shopping for a charger for the phone to see if we can call someone she knows.

The police are no help - all they asked is if we wanted them to come and pick up her "property" (the cell & "Vince.") We told them no as we'd rather the dog stay here now that's he's comfortable rather than being tossed around.

We don't even know if Vince is his real name - my dad told me that he wasn't sure, the lady may have been saying Vizsla. He doesn't pay much attention to it, but he does come whenever I talk to him. He knows English - sit, lay, shake is what I've gotten out of him.

We don't mind caring for Vince - we just want to get in touch with this lady and make sure she is okay.

It is so great that you guys are so helpful, and that your dad and brother were in the right place at the right time.

Thoughts and prayers comming everyones way, I hope you can find some info out about the owner! It's good to know "Vince" is in good hands.

Oh Kay, you and your family really are heroes. How nice of you to take such good care of Vince. I can't think of anyone I would rather have caring for my baby.

Kay, I know they probably aren't sharing a lot of information with you, but have the police tried to trace the cell phone? They can find out who the lady is and where she lives through the cell phone company (if it isn't a pay as you go phone). Was there a car that was left at the dog beach overnight?

I just can't believe they aren't interested in helping to identify the woman. Oh well, I wish I lived down there so I could see all of you on the news. Pet Talk Heroes!!!

ETA: Oh I forgot to say I love the picture of all four of them on the couch. How cute!

This is starting to sound like that Signfeld episode. The one with Farfull.

Well, we got a charger for the phone and got in contact with the ladie's father. He lives in Cape Code, she lives down here alone with Vince.

Apparently, she released herself against doctor's orders. She got picked up by the police and arrested for some charges that we don't know about at the moment.

The dog's name is indeed Vince - Vincezo.. or something. I'm not sure how to spell it but it's pronounced Vin-cess-zo.

Wow.. could it get anymore bizzare? We don't know what we're going to do, but apparently there's a news crew in a few minutes.

Kay,

Have you thought about Photo Journalism as a career / profession. With your talent and skills and your compassionate nature, you would make an inspiring journalist

It's sad to hear the woman may have been involved in some problems or is perhaps ill. I hope you can get the situation cleared up soon.

As for Vincenzo - I repeat myself .... he is one lucky pup to have landed in your household with your family. Your doggies are amazing and so gracious.

Wow, what a neat story! Vince looks very comfortable with the Muttlies. Hope everything is going well with the news crew. Can't wait for another update!

Wow. That's horrible that she was arrested... I wonder what she did. Hmmm....
Tell us everything about the news story, if you can!

Well, he's with mom now. They were very excited to see eachother.

We talked for a bit, she said thank yous, and then they headed off.

We were on the 11 news but they have not posted anything online yet. I will post the link as soo as they do.

Mom told me she didn't feel right about it "He would have been happier here."
Do I smell a 4th dog? LOL Yeah right.
