I found a cute little Terrier of some kind yesterday. My husband and I were walking our Yorkies and this cute dog just ran out in the road and came bounding toward us. Scout just went off the hook barking that high-pitched "there's a really scary dog running toward us" bark. My husband picked both our yorkies up and I called to the dog and it came to me. He had a collar on with no ID. I told my husband to take the yorkies back home and I would knock on some doors with the dog to see where he belonged. I vowed never to let an obviously well-cared-for dog run free again after losing Pippa and others saw her but didn't pick her up. (We DID find her-different story). This terrier I found didn't have any fear of cars, and was clean and friendly. Nobody knew where he came from....I called the animal shelter and they told me I could either keep him with me or bring him in. My yorkies were scared to death of him for some reason, so I took him to the animal shelter hoping his owner would come looking for him. They said he looked like a Rat Terrier. They are supposed to call me if his owner doesn't come and claim him because I said I do not want him euthanized-I would take him back before that happened. I am going to call tomorrow and see if he's been found-I can't stop thinking about the sweet little guy!
