Tripawds Three Legged Dog & Cat Forum Archives

So had the scare of my life this morning at 2 am. Jasmine & Snickers woke up barking on my bed. I got up looked around didn't see anything. Decided since they were up to take them out. Who would bother me taking 2 Rotties out right? I got them out front turned around there is a dog staring at me. I think she was lost. She wouldn't come near me. So I got the girls in the house one at a time. Then took some food & water outside and put it in the front yard area. She went in and I closed the gate fast. Waiting to go get her scanned for a microchip at the humane society.

Well, here is the rest of the story this morning.  I got mine dogs out & back in to feed them etc.  Then decided before heading to the humane society I would go to Petsmart to see if  Susie (our dog trainer) knew who the dog was and might belong too.  She walked on a leash well and was polite and loved the car.  Susie didn't know so I told her I was going to check to see if she had a microchip at the humane society she told me they had one there at their store by the cat adoptions.  So I took the dog over there.  No chip.  I decided well before going to turn her in I would try driving the neighborhood.  As I turned onto my road I saw this guy walking from a truck.  I thought maybe he was looking for his dog.  As I continued on I saw him walk to another car so I just kept going as I thought they were going to go for a walk on the path.  Something made me turn around at the next driveway and go back and ask if he was looking for his dog.  He looked at me really funny and said yes.  It ends up the dog's name is Emily.  His kids and their cousins were running in & out of the house and let her out.  She normally only went out on a leash.  She actually got hit by a car (I saw no evidence of that this morning when I checked her over).  He said he was looking in ditches and fell by a storm drain.  He didn't know how he was going to tell his kids that their dog was gone or dead.  He was relieved to get her back. 

I told him to please get her microchipped.  So that was my 2 am wake up call
