Have you Ever Found a Lost Pet and been able to reunite it with it's Owner?  

A few years ago I came home from work to find a bedraggled black cat on my doorstep. She was in a dreadful state and looked like she had been living rough. I took her in and gave her some food, and saw she had a collar and tag. I checked the tag and found a phone number on it so, while she was sleeping curled up on my sofa I called the number.
The owner of the cat lived 10 miles away from me, and was overjoyed that I had found her cat. She came over to the house an hour later to be reunited with her pet. Apparently she hd been missing for a couple of weeks and the owner had been distraught at her loss.
It was great being able to see her with the cat, and the cat was obviously more than overjoyed to be back with*mum*

Years ago when we were all still kids a tame cockatiel flew into my mothers house. This little bird loved children. When my twin brothers were in the bath it sat on the taps. When they went to bed it sat on the headboard. At breakfast it would fly on someones shoulder and walk down to your hand and share a slice of toast. One evening at the shop we saw a sign 'lost cockatiel'. We returned the bird which made the owners very happy, but we missed him terribly. At least we did the right thing. If one of my animals goes missing I would hope he would be returned to me.

My partner and i live across from a very small and modest wood. When we came home one night, after we went out, we saw this dog running around, without an owner.We just approached the dog and it was very friendly. He was obviously used to being petted as he didn't mind. We did notice that he was limping severely. We both love dogs and we wanted to help this poor animal. My partner stayed outside and i went upto our flat to call the police (in Belgium we don't have en equivalent of animal control that works at night). They said they would send a parole car, so I was relieved. I went outside to tell my partner, who seemed to have dissappeared. I started calling him and he came out, with this big smurk on his face. It seemed he had found the dogs owner, the guy went for a walk with his dog, like he did every night. As for the limping, the owner told him that his dog was 14 years old and that she was suffering from arthritis. Well although i was relieved i had to call the cops that they were not needed anymore. That was pretty embarassing :). All ion all a happy ending.

That was a wonderful story Transdisc! That family must have been so happy to reunited with thier pet. I also found a hunting dog while my husband and I were exploring the woods during deer season many years ago. She was just lying in the brush, next to the road with this pitiful look on her face. You could tell she had given up, I felt so bad for her. We stopped to talk to her and try to find out what was going on, she had a tab fastened to her orange collar, no phone number but name and CB channel. She was emaciated, bones sticking out and she was so dehydrated that she could barely blink her eyes. We happened to have some Gatorade with us so we gave her all that she could drink and then loaded her up in the truck. We drove to the nearest fast food joint and bought her a hamburger and then took her home. We got in contact with my husband's brother, who knew just about everybody in the hunting circles there, and he contacted the guy through the CB. We brought the dog back to the woods a couple of weeks later to be reunited with her owner. She was very happy to see him but I was sad to see her go.

I just remembered another story. A family member of mine found a dog in her new neighborhood and brought it in. The dog had a collar and tags with a phone number. But because she liked the dog and it was small like she wanted, she didn't call the owners to let them know she had found the dog. When I came over that evening I asked her if she had called and she lied to me and said she did but nobody was there and that she left a message. I got the number off of the tag and called them myself later that night and the lady was so excited, she was crying on the phone because she missed her pet so much. My aunt was really mad at me for what I did but I didn't care, if that had been my dog, I would have wanted it back, not to wonder forever what happened to it.

yes i have..she was a beautiful husky named Nikita...her owner was very happy to have her back as she was expecting puppies...

Another happy ending! About a month ago, I found a little dog wandering near a public pool, shivering because he'd gone for a swim. It was unseasonably warm but not warm enough to be outside soaking wet. (I started a discussion on myLot and asked what to do.) I went back a few times to where I'd found him, and on the fifth day I saw a sign on a telephone pole with his picture and a phone number. His owner came to get him after I called, and I'm not sure which of them was more excited.

We had a dog show up at our house that was very friendly :) His name was Leo. It was hard to read his name tag due to how it was printed, the coloring on it. He was also deaf. It was on his tag thankfully. We called his owners but they weren't home so we left a message. That night when she got off work at 11pm she called us. She was so relieved to have him back. He'd skipped out on her and under the fence. She was very worried since he couldn't hear and of course could be hurt easier since he wouldn't hear a car. He's shown up a couple of more times since but he does a bee line right for our house when he gets out so she knows where to look.

Now that is a wonderfaul story ransdic..I love to hear stories with good endings and this is one of them..Oh I have missed a good mylotting session lol..I have never had the honour of finding a lost pet but was very interested to find your discussion. Thanks for such a lovely story!!

Wow, what a story. I wonder if your brother had become attached to the dog. He must be a wonderful person to help you reunite the dog with its original owners.
