I've been bringing home stray dogs as far back as I can remember. It always feels good when you find one, nurse it to health, find it a home and go back and visit to see it happy. My Gizmo is one who was found on the street. Somehow those rescues know that they are special and they are needy too. The people who let their dogs and cats out and are careless with them really anger me. I was with a friend, all dressed up for a business luncheon and I found one just walking slowly down the street. Filthy. A little Shitzu. Very overweight, Opened the door and he hopped in. Called the number on the tag and the number was bad - there was a second tag with a different number and I left a message. now I am going to be late. What to do? Took it to a Vet office and explained the situation. They would call Animal Control so it would get back home. The owner called me a few hours later MAD!!!! I was the one who should have been mad. I should have left her dog she said, but the dog was heading towards a freeway!, like I could really do that. She just had a baby and did not know how the dog got out. She was mad because she now had to go get the dog. They should have some sort of license to allow people to own a dog. I still can't get over the fact that she was mad I took her dog to the vet's near her house. My friend thought we should take it to her store until after our business meeting and then deal with it later She'd have had to drive 25-30 miles to have claimed the dog. Or if Animal Control got it, it would have cost her about $100. to claim him. Some people don't get it.
