He really didn’t want to go. But I insisted.

The other day I was running late for an appointment. I worked out and there was just enough time to slip into my house and clean up. 

At my backdoor, I heard something. I turned around and saw… 

This cute guy. Of course, at the time we met he had no leash. He was on the loose. 

Darn. There goes being clean and purdy for my appointment. I thought he might be from across the way, but need to check his tag which I couldn’t do because that would involve reading small print on his tag. 

I opened the door to get some glasses and he bounded in… 

It was so cute how he ran over to Tebow’s crate and they communicated. So cute until he marked the crate and my carpet. Dogs are funny that way.People just come into a room and act all loud and braggy or flirty and weird to assert dominance. 

Dogs teeter. 

He really didn’t want to go.

But I insisted.

 His owner pulled up right as I was leaving, so relieved that her pup was safe and sound. She had been so worried for we live on a very busy street. 

The dog didn’t have a care in the world. He just loved every teetering minute till I made me go behind the locked fence.Dogs are that way, so trusting. They often need the kindness of others to get them home. As a runner, I come across lost dogs quite often. I must smell a certain way when I run.They love the way I smell. It’s a curse, really. 

As one who has gotten many stray dogs home ~ get your dog a dogtag. It helps those of us who smell inviting to lost dogs get on with our lives instead of spending all afternoon trying to get this wayward creature home. 

But of course the most important thing is getting puppy home for they are dear members of the family. 

What lengths have you gone to get a stray pup home?
