It's the dog you're supposed to get back, not the collar!

Our dog wears a collar that has a tag attached with our address and phone number on it. I took her for her usual walk in the fields earlier today and everything was as normal, or so I thought. She did what she usually does - sniffed in the undergrowth, chased a few birds, demanded treats for being good, played with a few other dogs and had a paddle in the stream to cool off on the way back. However, about an hour or so after we got back, the phone rang. A man said that he had found a dog collar with our number on it. He very kindly drove round from his house and left the collar on the brick pillar outside our front door, from where I retrieved it and re-attached it to the dog. The idea of having the tag on the collar is that you can get your dog back if she runs off and gets lost - but getting the collar back is every bit as welcome!
