The same thing happened to me with my little chihuahua. Fortunately, I was in my own neighborhood and it was 6:00 AM so noone was out yet. It scared me to death though because I immediately thought how bad it would have been if I had been walking them by one of the busier roads like I sometimes do. My chihuahua is a runner too and always takes off full speed. I had to tie the leash in a knot around the vest to get her home. The bad news is, I made the vest. I checked all the others I made and had my husband sodder all the ones that were not a solid D ring. At least it made me aware of what could happen at a good time.
I'm so glad that you were able to catch Ginger. That is an awful feeling. |
