Our neighbor has a basset hound that we see all the time when we go for walks around our neighborhood at his house barking at us through the fence. On Sunday morning, mom sees him strolling down the street by himself without his owner and when she said "Hey there little fellow" he luckily came to mom quickly and she took him home, safe from the dangers of the road. I was watching all of this out the window i might add. When she came in the house I told mom she could us my leash to walk him home to his owner since he had a collar for a place to snap a leash on, but be sure you bring my leash back and wash it afterwards. He has got out once before when his owner's didn't know it until later after they came home from work. We are thinking he must have dug out from under the fence is how he escaped. He resembles Oscar and brings back memories of him for mom every time she sees him with those long soft ears. She kept wanting to say Oscar so much when she seen him. He is very sweet and friendly dog that leads very well. He had no dog tag with any identification whatsoever with a name and phone number which you should always have on a dog to prevent a dog from getting lost or microchip. Luckily, we have seen the dog before and knew his owner he belonged to and some are not so lucky. Mom made me a bone-shaped dog tag that is blue (my favorite color) at Petsmart when i first arrived at my forever home with her name, address, and phone number (like i would run away from mom not in a million years) Bol to prevent me from getting lost.
All in all, it was a happy ending for all. We didn't want to see him get run over by a car or anything bad to happen to him. It was so beautiful to see the little fellow we found reunited with his daddy. His folks sure were happy to see him and relieved that we found him and thanked us for his safe return. Although, he wasn't really concerned much about being lost because he was enjoying his adventure at the present time in a unknown world Bol!!!! Heck, i don't blame him because I would be too.
Whoohoo!!!! I am doing the happy dance all over the house! Bol!!!! I am truly honored and it made my day to have been featured as Dogster's Diary of the Day on January 4, 2013!
