Happy Ending
My morning rescue mission has a happy ending. I just got a call from the police dispatcher who told me that the dog is safely home again. It really was her neighbor's dog! The owner says that the dog will now be kept more securely so he won't be running loose and in danger. That's good news.
And, I can go pick up my very old leash. I hope I won't have to use it for a long time, but I should have it handy for the next time I need to help out.

Even though I knew, I really knew, we would get him back to his owners, I just hated taking him to the police in case they would take him to the pound first. I know they are treated well there, but it's so stark and frightening for a dog. I remember how Rusty begged us to get him out of there when we went there to see him.

It figures it was a Husky!! My sister had one that escaped often. He was a lover, but a real houdini. He ate right through the wooden fence. I was listening to the scanner and heard "Paul-4 stopped at prairie Center, with a wolf-husky mix VERY FRIENDLY dog." I called my sister who said her dog was right ther....OHMIGAWD he's gone again. So she beat the cop to the shelter, Gotta love small towns huh?
