Heck I wouldn't have asked in the first place, would have just gone back for the dog, brought it home and dealt with your hubby afterwards. My first thought is always for a stray or lost dog, hubby isn't exactly as freaky as I am about it but he probably realizes it wouldn't matter if he objected so he just goes along with it- down deep he's really an animal lover himself. I've taken lots of dogs home, checked for ID and if none was found I just called our local shelter. I have taken in a few lost dogs that seemed in need of a good meal and a warm bed. I think that's why we're on PT...we love animals , no holds barred.
