No this is not a search and rescue story but it is a true story about how I helped a lost pit bull in need. I saw this pit bull wandering around.. he was a very pretty guy so I called him. " Here boy!" was all I said before he came up to me, wagging his tail and wanting to be petted.
A few days later I saw this dog again. It was raining so I decided to bring the dog inside to keep him dry and so I could find his owner. I didn't like the idea of him just wandering around because I was afraid people would freak out if they saw him and do something bad to him.
At the time I was not allowed a dog so I kept him inside. I have linoleum in the computer room so I went to the store and bought some newspaper so he would have something to go potty on. I did find the owner and I fell in love the few days I had him. He was very loving and followed me everywhere. He was also pretty skinny and very hungry. He wagged his tail the entire time I fed him.
After I had him, I just knew I had to have a dog of my own so I talked my landlord into it. He said I could have a small dog. I had wanted a Jack Russell for a long time so I got the leftover newspaper I had bought for the pit bull and started looking.
I saw an ad that partially read: Jack Russell pups. Adorable.. must see. This was an old newspaper ( about 2-3 weeks old but decided to call anyways and see what would happen.) They had one puppy left. I came to see him and he was adorable. He was not taken very good care of, though. He had fleas and hot spots and his forehead was raw. I picked him up and he was so sweet and just wanted to be held and loved.
Anyways, I have had my Wishbone for 4 years now... he is a great little guy. He is very sweet and does not have a mean bone in his body. He is now taken well care of ( ok, he's a spoiled brat!) and well loved. If I had not taken in the pit bull I would have never found him.
If you have any stories about how you found your pet, I would love to hear them.
