I took her to the vet and found the owner. I also yelled at them for letting their old dog roam. She’s a sweet old gal, and she shouldn’t be out there. I’ll be checking up on her. Thankfully, they’re going to still let me see her, even though I chewed them out.

Edit: I forgot to mention, she had a pampering while she was here!

    Wild that people just let their dogs out. Meanwhile, if mine put half a paw in the street without permission, we go back to the curb and do the whole routine over

      I live in a gated community where everybody is a dog owner, they all roam free most of the time. It’s pretty awesome. We also have a whatsapp group with all neighbours, so when we want to know where they are, all it takes is a quick message into the group and the current food dispenser of choice will let us know.

      The best thing about that is that we can also just travel for a week or two without bothering. Our dog prefers to sleep in our house, so the next door neighbor will open the door at night & then let her do her thing the next morning.

    You did a very excellent thing looking out for this doglet. As to the yelling at the owners; if it’s hyperbole then all’s well. If in fact you did yell at them, then that can foster resentment that can often be deflected to other things like said woofer. If these owners are recalcitrant in looking after this animal, then offer to take her off their hands and place her in a more loving environment. Once she is secure, persue her former owners and dissembowel them with a cement trowel and wear their entrails like Mardi gras bling. Have a wonderful day and peace be with you.
