My wee pal (SBT) Happy Return
Hi
Around the time I first joined dogsey I found a bonnie wee dog on my lunch break 'playing with cars' on a main road just outside Dundee.
Anyway. I grabbed him and (using my belt) managed to make a lead so I could at least keep him out of harms way.
Once he'd calmed down I was faced with that horrible 'what the hell do I do with him now' feeling.
I knocked on a few doors with no luck so I asked a lady I knew that lived by where I worked if she could pop him in her dog run till the end of the day.
After work I picked him up and tried a few more houses with no luck so I popped him in the car and went to the local police station.
The policeman said he no way of keeping the dog at the station and that I should take him to the main police station in Perth but that was over 25 miles from where I found him.
I put him in the back of the car and headed for Perth but decided i'd take him home for some food and a drink first. I took a couple of pictures (these ones) and once he was calm took him to the police station. I was a bit worried because of his breed but they were really good and let me and my little daughter settle him down in the kennel and give him more food.
The next day I went back to work and posted the dogs pictures in the village where I found him - stating that he was at the police station in Perth.
That afternoon I phoned the police station and they told me that his owners had seen the poster, called the station and he was now home and well.
I never knew his name or heard from his owners but for the short time we had him he was called (by my daughter) Handsome.
Here's Handsome.
