Last night whilst at work, there was this gorgeous scruffy dog that kept trying to come into our shop. He was dragging a lead, and being as it was bonfire night we assumed that a) he had run off in fright or that b) he had been tied outside the shop and had come undone. My supervisor tied him outside, and kept coming out and checking on him. Eventually, after an hour and a half, we decided that he must of run off and it was best to phone our local animal shelter. The lady who runs it said that she was too full to take him. I said being as I lived just down the road, I'd take him for the night. This had taken a further half an hour. So phoned animal shelter and said that's what we'd do. I took dog home for 20mintues when work phoned to inform me that the owner had showed up. I walked this dog back up to work and met the owner. She said "What happened they were'nt letting me back in the shop at first (It closes at 8pm) till I said about my dog"
I told her how the dog had been running loose, so we tied him up then after an hour decided to do something as the dog was clearly distressed.
"Well, someone must of untied him. I left him tied. What a silly thing to do you could of put a notice up they weren't going to let me back in."
At this point I couldn't understand why she was so annoyed at that fact, as soon as she mentioned the dog she was let in to see the supervisor, and the fact that she had obviously been shopping for two hours leaving the dog outside. She then went on to say how worried she had been (for all of 2minutes), as the dog had been stolen before when she was in London!
I said I wasn't suprised someone had taken him if she left this dog unsupervised for two hours, the poor thing was freaked out by the fireworks (Well, he is more scared in the house(!)), What is someone meant to think when a dog has become loose and no one moves him for tat amount of time? I had to walk away at that point I was fuming. How could anyone treat a dog like that?
