What I looked like yesterday Ive no idea, but it was my good deed for the day . o

I work next to a busy main road in the suburbs and I was outside the shop when a little Shih tzu went charging by in the middle of the road (w00t) I obviously gave chase , waving my arms about running down the middle behind it :b , luckily there is a pedestrian crossing nearby so the cars were going slow :sweating: .

When it got to the next junction it turned right, down the next main road with me still in hot pursuit , by now I was screaming to folk ` STOP THAT DOG !!!!

a couple of people tried but it side stepped and then it took its place in the middle of the road again Cars were opening doors to try to catch him , but as he was small he just went underneath the doors

I was losing him in the distance and saw an old friend whose car I jumped into and said `follow that dog` , but he was so pathetic of pulling out into the traffic :rant: I got out and continued to run after the dog :- "

Eventually , me and two guys managed to corner him and , one of the guys went to touch him and he flew at him , so I just grabbed the back of his neck and kept hold till he stopped trying to bite me :wacko:

Of course I had no lead , but a lady passerby lent me her belt I slipped it through his collar and set off back the way we had come , He kept trying to get out of his collar so I decided to risk it and pick him up

On getting back to my workplace , my boss wasn't too happy about my ` absence ` supposed to be a dog lover . any how , My sister came as shes microchips and brought her scanner , but he wasn't micro chipped and his collar had no tag on :rant: .

Jose took him home and rang all vets etc and the local radio . the dog warden aid they couldn't come till next day :rant: so she kept him over night o

The owners next door neighbours heard about him on the radio and knew they were frantically looking for him . :huggles:

Apparently his owners who . live about 3 miles away never put him on a lead :rant: but he saw a cat !

Now my sister is very down to earth , like myself :thumbsup: and told these folk a thing or two . :- " they are taking him back tomorrow to be micro chipped and are getting a lead and tag for his collar .

All s well that ends well and one customer who saw me running down the road after him ,like a demented woman , bought me a box of chocolates :cheers:

I just hope some mad woman ( or man) would do the same for me should I be so unlucky to have a dog on the loose in traffic .

I tell you what though , all that running ( esp after bakewell show ) my shins are killing me , Ive never run so far so fast for years , must have been the adrenaline running

Well done Jax 8) You were his guardian angel o

I'd like to think that there were lots of good folk like you about who would help a dog in need, sadly I dont think it's the case. My Dad lost Holly and found her just standing and barking in the middle of the road - cars were slowing down (thankfully) and driving right past her, no-one helped her till my Dad caught up with her.

Hope your shins are better :lol:

Not that we expect any reward . but I dont think they even offered my sister anything towards the dozens of phone calls she made all day to various vets , rescue societys etc . I suppose they were just relieved to get him back . lets just hope they have learned their lesson, cos I might not be around next time o or fit enough I hope I dont have to do too much walkinfg tomorrow :thumbsup:

 

[oakmoorehill]

Good for you Jax. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: It's a pity the owners weren't a bit more thankful. Hope you have recovered today.

Just been talking to my sister , who told the owners that shed had to buy food in for him as her dogs dont eat dog food :- " and they never even bothered to offer to pay for it :rant: PLUS they havnt been back to have him microchipped . :rant:

Shes going to find out their name and phone number again for me , and I think I might just give them a phone call

I tell you what , if I see him loose again , he wont be going back to them thats for sure :teehee:

But people like his owners really shouldn't be allowed dogs :rant:
