Yesterday, I had a little adventure. I found this little dog and while I was in the process of taking my kids to school. The dog immediately took to me and so I took it in my house to see if there was any id tags. Yes a collar, no id tags. I took a picture and placed an ad on the Lost and Found area of Craigslist, then I drove around asking people walking outside- nobody recognized the pup. I went to the vet to see if it had a microchip- No microchip. All day passed and no phone calls from the listing on Craigslist. So last night, I took more pictures and printed out flyers, this morning, I put them up at the area school, the local Starbucks and on a few power poles. As soon as I got home I got a phone call and it was the owner. She said she was about to place an ad on Craigslist and saw that I placed a found ad. Not sure why she wouldn't of did this last night or why she didn't look at Craigslist sooner but at least she checked and I don't have to worry anymore.
The moral of this is, If you own a dog, know to get it microchipped and have an id tag. If this little "Gizmo" had these things then I wouldn't have been a "dog sitter" yesterday. Also, dogs are like children. I am guessing the reason the dog got out was because it is a backyard dog, it was bored plus it was raining. Not a good combination.
