Early this morning around 6:15 one of my fellow dog owning neighbors actually dropped by my house to see if I'd lost any of my dogs during the hail and thunder storms last night. He and his family had discovered a little black dog (a cute little dachshundy looking mix with long legs)in the aftermath last night, and since we regularly saw each other walking early in the mornings, he was afraid it might be one of my dogs. Unfortunately, I'd never seen the little fellow before, but this particular family is savvy about what to do with found pets. They'd already made plans to take the new pup to the vet to be scanned for a microchip and then put fliers up in the neighborhood. Ultimately, if no one claims him, they said they'd probably keep him since he gets along well with their shepherd or shepherd x, Chii, and the cats.

They were thrilled with the foundling's good house manners plus he was well-behaved while crated, so we're all sure someone is looking for him. We'd love for him to get neutered though if he goes home!

It's funny though how I was the first person they thought of when they found a stray dog even though we've only spoken a few times in passing when we're both out on walks!
