Our Visitor 3
pictures included in the hope they will reunite him with his
owner, If that hasn't happened already
A few weeks ago Julia returned from one of her knitting classes and I saw her pause outside the house through the frosted glass door.
"I think there is
something outside you should see" she said on entering
the house.
I went and had a look and there was a yellow Labrador
outside, about 2 or 3 years old, friendly, but without a
collar. Presumably he had smelled Ben's scent markings and
probably hope he could find help here
I sincerely hope he had just slipped his collar. He was a
bit thin, but we don't know how long he had been walking.
To prevent him being run over I put one of Tanith's old
collars around his neck and he as very submissive and went
into a down stay to allow me to put the collar on. We got
him in the house and phoned the Police who gave us an
incident number and gave us the phone number of the dog
warder.
He was obviously a little apprehensive, but I just sat
there with him and gave him a couple of treats. and he
soon became very friendly and quite submissive.
If we hadn't had Ben and no one claimed him I would have
happily given him a home, but it wouldn't have been fair
on Ben or the visitor.
Anyway I enjoyed his company for approximately half an
hour, until the Dog warder arrived and took him away. The
dog warder commented that he really hoped he was chipped.
Hopefully a valuable dog like a Yellow Labrador would have
been.
Steve.
