A Happy Ending to the Tail!

I just thought I would make a quick post in case anybody was concerned about the cute little dog my friend Jerry and I rescued from the highway on Saturday.  As I said I took her home and out for a walk.  We actually went for several walks over two days, because she seemed to really like to walk.  I purchased some dog food for her and put her pictures on several lost pet pages on Facebook.

So stinkin’ cute!

They scanned her for me at the Humane Society and found no chip.  However, my friends were also sharing my Facebook post and scanning other Facebook posts.  I, too, was logging on every few minutes and going to every pet page I could think of.  I confess, part of me wanted so badly to keep that sweet dog!  She was so loving and good!  But I felt sure somebody was missing her terribly.

Finally not one but two friends messaged me with a post of pictures of the dog, saying she had run away from the area where we had found her.  It was clearly the same dog.  I called, a man came and picked her up, and she was very happy to see him.

I would just like to say that THIS is Facebook at its best!  And community at its best.  People who don’t know each other are able to connect and get a lost dog home with the help of other people sharing and looking.  I feel happy I had a part in rescuing this little cutey.

  1. I’m so happy for such a good outcome. And also that you got to try out having a dog again.
