The trials and tribulations of a pet sitter and company

I've witnessed many strange events on my daily dog walks over the years. Here's one of the strange occurrences I'd like to share with you:

While walking one of my favorite dogs to visit, a cockapoo named Bailey, we came across a little Yorkie cowering in a neighboring front yard. Upon approach, I noticed that the little guy didn't have a collar and he seemed to be somewhat scruffy. Bailey was over the moon about this discovery and tried to get a closer look. Our new, little friend didn't know what to make of our nosy encounter, so he just backed away and kept his distance. I was at a loss at this moment in time, not knowing what to do with our new found situation. Bailey had gotten a good look by this point and was ready to move on and continue our walk. I rang the doorbell several times and checked the yard for a fence. Unfortunately, no one answered and there was no fenced in yard. Regrettably, with no cellphone at the time, I had no choice but to leave the poor pup by his lonesome.

When Bailey and I returned to her house, I made sure to include our little adventure in my clients daily notebook. Thankfully, my client,the town savior, found little "Max" in the same area I had seen him, several hours later. She scooped him up and rushed him to the town veterinarian. Worried, but willing to take him in at the same time, my client contacted the local police station and waited patiently for word on this sweet, little pup.

This story does have a happy ending, I swear! My client contacted the vet in the morning and was pleased to hear that the police/ vet's office had gotten a hold of Max's parents and order was restored to the little town of Fair Lawn. If is wasn't for people like my client, a lot of scared pups would be roaming the streets alone and hungry. This story shows that there still are good people left in this world!
