Well... off to an interesting start

I was driving to work this morning, down a busy street. A white German
Shepard is trying to cross the street.

I slow down and the silly thing steps out in front of me. I've already
slowed to a near stop, so no problem. Traffic behind me is also careful, so
no rear-enders either.

The dog puts its front paws on the hood, so I open the car door. The dog
scrambles in (across my lap - OUCH! - this dog needs a nail trim) and sits
down in the passenger seat, on top my computer bag.

I quickly pull out of traffic into a Kroger parking lot.

Bless owners who tag their pets! Lola (the dog's name) licked my face as I
read her tags. I called the number on the tag and apparently woke someone
up.

I asked, "Do you know your dog is out trying to cross MacArthur in busy
traffic?"

"Lola? You saw Lola?!"

"Yeah, she's sitting in my car. We're at the Kroger."

I gave him the location, and in 20 minutes, another red car, similar to my
little Escort, pulls into the parking lot. Lola wags her tail and paws at
the window to get out.

Seems she's been missing for three days.

Yay! Happy reunion, and I wasn't even late for work!

Bless you, Mark! And bless the owners for bothering to tag (and hopefully
microchip) their dog! Thank goodness she was friendly, eh? You got a kiss
for helping her out

Good to hear something good for a change. Bless you for taking the time to
sort it out and not just shove the dog out the door.

For some reason I did not see the original post from Mark, but this made my
day.

Bless you for your good deed, and happy dance for Lola and her person

What a great story! You saved the day for Lola and made her human very
happy this morning. Me, too.

I wonder if she was keen to jump into your car because it resembled her
person's car?

Probably because of the car and I bet Mark has "sucker" written across his
forehead and the dog knew this human would help her.
