On Saturday a beautiful dog galloped into my garden after I had seen him in the fields next door so I gave him some water which he swooshed down. Went for a little walkdown the lane to see if someone was missing him. nobody knew him.
After a couple of hours of phoning round the locals still no nearer finding his owner. Nice looking dog, sort of retriever/lurcher mix. Anyway took him to the vet who scanned him and it went beep! Bad news was they couldn't recognise the number as the prefix was foreign! Took him down to the local kennels/pound, and said, if you can't find the owner, I'll have him.
Today, an Italian man turned up at my door asking if I had seen his dog! He cried and kissed my hand when I told him! I gave him the address of the kennel and phoned them up telling them to expect him. Apparently the dog knocked the man over withenthusiasm when they were reunited, Aww!
