When to disown your dog.....
I heard a great story the other day about a Dalmatian who escaped from her home and legged it the half mile into town. Now this is quite a big town and there is a mixture of shops, including a VERY high class store that has automatic doors. The owner, not realising she had escaped, received a terse call from the store manager, asking her to come and collect her dog. Apparently, the Dalmatian had trotted up the main street unchallenged, came to the automatic door which of course opened, went inside and spent a merry ten minutes racing up and down the magnificant stairway in the middle, with various staff in hot pusuit!
By the time the owner arrived, she was lying on her back near the cosmetics counter wagging her tail and grinning, she had managed to shed her collar at some point so the only way to get her out was to use an expensive silk scarf from the rail nearby, and make a hasty exit
The owner has not had the nerve to enter the store since......
plus the garden gate has been made more secure..
