Just thought I would share this with all of you.
I was driving home from work tonight and I saw a Rotti walking down the sidewalk, and of course like all dogs didn't look both ways before he went to cross the street and almost got hit by a truck (thank god the guy was paying attention)! Then the dog ran up onto the sidewalk again, and again ran out into the street and almost got hit by the bus.
I couldn't just leave him there as there is a major hiway very near our house, so I stopped my car and got out. Called him "Rotti boy" as didn't know his name. He didn't have a collar on so didn't know where he lived. Didn't look like a stray as he wasn't scruffy and he must be a bit trained as he knows how to sit and shake a paw. I put him in my car and brought him home. My husband said maybe I should walk down the street I found him and see if anyone is looking for him.
I put Phoebe's leash on him and took him for a walk. A lady in a truck (which almost looked like she was in tears) slowed down when she saw me, so I stopped and when she got out I could see a smile on her face. I asked if this was her boy and she said yes. She looked so very happy to see him. Her husband was on his bike going around looking for him. She said that they have no kids, so he is there kid, and he means the world to them. She thanked me so much for finding him. I told her that I have 2 rotties of my own, so there is a BIG soft spot for them and I couldn't just leave him running the street. Oh ya and I told her that if they haven't given him any treats yet....he has had a doggie biscuit. She thanked me again and now off to find her husband.
Oh and his name is "King" and he just turned 1yr old last month.
I am very thankful that I was there to find him, cause no one else stopped and who knows where King would have ended up.
He is a cutie, and told him I hope to see him around the neighbourhood (with his owner of course)!
HAPPY ENDING IN THE LIFE OF A DOG!!
