Jay and I were walking home from my parents house today with the puppy, when this dog came up to sniff her. I picked her up (always do cos you never know what strange dogs are like). It still jumped up on me to sniff her.
It seemed friendly enough and had a collar on.
Afterwards I noticed his owner wasnt anywhere to be seen and he walked off wandering about on the street and roads. I called out to a few people nearby to ask if he was their dog, they all said no. I managed to catch upto it and check the collar. It had a tag on with a phone number to call if he gets lost. I didnt have a phone on me though and the dog started running off!

So jay chased after it with me and the puppy trying to keep up behind him. We followed it for 30 minutes past shops, houses and into the town park. Managed to catch upto it in there and it came over to see the puppy once I put her on the ground. I asked people in the park if they owned him or had a phone I could borrow to ring the owners. No and No.
No one seemed bothered and thought I should just leave it.

No way! I love animals, especially dogs. During the time we chased him, he walked into the road several times, almost got hit by 2 cars. There was no way I could just leave it to get run over.

So anyway I decided to put the puppys leash on the dogs collar, because he wouldnt let me hold him just by the collar. The nearest place I thought of to use the phone was the pet store a few streets away. I had to carry the puppy under one arm, almost dropped her, hold the leash in my other hand, and let jay cross the roads by himself

Luckily it turned out ok, we got there, they phoned for me. The owners turned up 10 minutes later.

What a nightmare! Probably doesnt sound it, but it was lol.

Thinking now, I should have just knocked on the nearest house door, explained the situation and asked to use their phone
