So the other day I am headed to the post office. A block from my house I see a little white dog at the intersection. I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood, but many drivers do not even slow down at this four way stop 😡. I got out of the car to check on the little furbaby. At first, it ran, but then hunched down and lunged like a puppy wanting to play, and immediately let me pick it up. I figured it would be easy to find the owner of the little cutie, who after checking, I determined the pronoun to use is she/her 😁 She is not wearing a collar so I carried her around a several block radius of where she was found, knocking on doors and asking everyone who was outside (it was a pretty good weather day) if they knew who her owner might be. She must have weighed all of 8 pounds. She looked like a bichon and had been clipped recently so I felt certain she had wandered off. Sadly not one person recognized her.
I took her home waiting for the local vet office to reopen, hoping and praying she was chipped. Thankfully I had a collar that fit her. She was just the sweetest, most friendly little pup. Sadly she was not chipped so I made the heart wrenching decision to call the police and have her taken to the county animal kennel. I thought that was her best chance of being reunited with her family. I did not post to social media. Being so darn cute, I was afraid many would come forward claiming she was theirs.
Yesterday I saw this on the kennel Facebook page. I cried tears of joy. The posting has not been updated and I am hoping and praying her family did come and get her. I left the kennel a message, but have not heard back from them. I just checked the FB page and she has been reunited with her family. Oh how I love a happy ending 💘
Please, folks, if you have a pet, be sure to have them chipped . . . and be sure to register the chip and keep the information updated!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
