Karen she didn't seem that greatful. She said thank for saving her but she seemed like she just wanted to get out of our house and didn't want to talk or anything.
Then she let her off the leash again when she walked back to her truck

yeah and apparantley, she is 12 years old. The owner said she is doing weird things latley, like sheis going senile. This is what happend to out thunder in the last little while. So I do hope they decide not to leave her loose anymore, because there is something they call doggy Alzheimer's.
Just glad it was happy ending and that i managed to save her from the cars.

Bless your hearts. One of my RB dogs developed doggy Alzheimer's around 13 years of age and it was so sad. She did lose all sense of staying in her own yard which previously she had been so dependable. She became quite disoriented and would even fall into the window wells.

Thank you for saving this old girl. I hope her owners will realize that extra care must be taken and she cannot be left outside unsupervised if they do not have a fenced in yard.

It's good that you found her owners though. She must have been very happy. Lorn, yeah there actually is something called Canine Alzheimer's. My friends Boston Terrier was just put to sleep over it. One of the symptoms is leaving the yard that they were trained not to leave and becoming lost.. I hope the sweetie makes it okay.

Well that is SOME Valentine's tale! I am so pleased that you got her safe. AND that you got photos to share with us! I'll say a few prayers for Mara, that her owners 'get' it and take good care of her. They've had her 12 years, so maybe they just need to realize she is older now and things need to adapt.

Glad to hear the van survived!
