Lost Dog

Tweet

This afternoon I met a friend for coffee at our local shopping centre. While we were there chatting away I noticed a small dog running in and out of the centre. When she came back a second time my friend and I went outside to see if she was ok. It looked as if she was pregnant or had just given birth. Soon a small crowd of shoppers had gathered around to watch the dog which was becoming quite stressed. So I rang up the Ranger who came down to rescue the dog, unfortunately before he arrived the dog had run off and couldn't be found. Hopefully the dog found its way back home to its owner and they are now reunited. The thing I noticed was the reaction of the shoppers. Some were very upset about the dog and seemed to need to talk about their feelings. One man was walking up and down the talking about the dog to anybody who would listen. Not to be rude, but I did think he was a bit of an attention seeker. Another person was looking for a bowl to fill with water for the dog who didn't want to come close to us. Everybody seemed to care what might happen to this dog and were rather concerned about its welfare .For a moment we were all together as a community in wanting the best outcome as possible for the dog. I still haven't heard anything so we just have to hope/
