DBF & I found a dog!

I hope his owners aren't like that. Poor little guy.

I finally heard back from Animal Control - I called them today to ask what ever happened with Benji.

The lady was very nice - she told me the current owners were not the dog's first family. Apparently, the old tag had never been removed from the original owners, and the dog was abused by them. They also used to take the dog to that Vet who was a real jerk. It might explain his attitude, but what right does he have to assume? I still think I should report him for not being a good Vet.

The dog came to the current owners because one of their relatives rescued him and gave him to them. Apparently, the current owner's husband was out grilling dinner, and Benji got out and ran off. She actually saw me carrying a dog because she was driving in. She couldn't see any details because it was nighttime and she didn't think anything of it because she didn't know Benji had gotten loose. When she got home her husband told her.

I had gone back up to the area I found him and skirted around a bit, but never saw her. The animal control agent told me she held the dog all day and his owner came to pick him up last night. So he is safely home. And the owner knows all about that awful Vet. Needless to say she's never been to that Vet, and she won't be starting - that's for sure.

I'd love to bump into Benji again - some day when I'm taking a walk, perhaps I will.

I'm so glad to hear that Benji is home. You did a great thing and I'm glad that you were able to be there for him.

I'm so glad he was reunited with his owner's. It was incredibly kind of you to take him in. That vet sounds like an awful person, it's scary to think he's in practice working with animals and he doesn't seem to care.
