i rescued him off the overpass!
« on: June 04, 2007, 10:20:18 am »
holy cow! i was heading out of town to go to wal-mart yesterday(our town is about 3,000 ppl). was heading over the overpass and about 75 yards infront of me there is a dog in the middle of the bridge! smack dab in the middle cars and trucks zooming bye he didnt know what to do. luckily by the time i got to him there was a break in the traffic i was able to stop and by miracle he trusted me to jump into the car. it was sunday, but i tried the vets anyway (small town uses vets for animal shelter 'no humane society') supprise supprise they are closed. so i figure ill foster for a night and take him in the morning. every thing runs pretty smoothe except him and max accualy dont like eachother, which supprised me but i remembered some of you had said that un altered males dont like altered males, so figured that was the case, so i separated them for the night, put the guest in max's crate. but the  next morning when i went out to get him...oh boy, he is a strong one! he'd broken the welds on max's crate and bent the metal over 7 inches so he could get out! i have no  idea how he did it, but he was loose in the garage. tried to dart out the door when i opened it. cept im to fast ;) so i took him to the vets this morn, and by chance the minute i walk in the door the phone rings and it's the owner looking for his dog "german short hair named TRIGGER" . so mission acomplished... .reunited. it was kind of fun i hadnt rescued a dog for over a year now. when we lived in the country  people would ditch their dogs out there for whatever reason thinking it was a good place to leave them, and i would be finding them quite often, but now that we are in town, that isnt the case. it's a very fullfilling thing to do! i just now realised that i forgot to take pics of him, duh... sorry guys.

You did an amazing and wonderful thing and I'm sure that neither Trigger nor his people will ever forget your kindness.  You should be very proud of yourself!  Great job!!   ;D
