As I was coming home from walking my buddy Nash in the Plano TX area, I saw a couple dogs roaming around my neighborhood here in Allen TX. I was able to approach them safely and put them in my backyard. Fortunately, one of them had an i.d. tag with a phone number. I called the owner and she came to pick them up, not knowing that they had even escaped from her backyard. A few days later as I was leaving for a pet sitting job in Frisco TX, I noticed something roaming around my car in my garage. Turns out, there was another lost dog! She was a beautiful young yellow lab with a collar but no tags. My husband took her all over the neighborhood to see if she recognized anything, but we had no luck. Fortunately for her, she found the right place to go when she was lost. The home of Select Pet Care! She stayed with us overnight and I called the Allen Animal Shelter the next morning to report that I had found someone's dog. By the afternoon, the owner found me and was very happy to get their dog back. I stressed the importance of having i.d. tags on the dog in case it happens again. How funny is it that within a couple days several dogs somehow found their way to a local pet sitter's home when they lost their way?
