Update

well I took both of the pooch’s reluctantly to the shelter, got mum to help me ……………….. was hoping she would keep them and I think that if I had taken them to her house the night before that probably would have happened, however, once there the shelter scanned them and they were both chipped so possibly would be able to contact the owners. I might call them today to find out if they did, even though they told me to wait 8 days before ringing.

Thanks for your kind comments about the dog thing, its just something that I do, all of the time which drives my family nuts. But I think that, if my dogs were to get out and be on a road, I would hope that someone would pick them up before they were lost forever. However I would have a collar and name tag on mine! Oh and of course mine wouldn’t be out …………………. but there has been that occasion when we just moved to this house when they got out of our yard and lucky that they are chipped as they were caught chasing and playing with the kids at the school around from home. One prompt call from Central Animal Records and they were back home with me.

I have also picked up a dog coming back from a work meeting with a colleague in a work vehicle that was about to make its way onto a business freeway. he was taken to the shelter and reunited with his owner that same day.

UPDATED UPDATE

Checked with the shelter today and found that they did contact the owners who were thrilled to have the pooches back. It seems that they have been on quite a journey as they came from a suburb some 30 minutes DRIVE away and have been missing for a fairly long time! Its amazing that they stuck together through all this time.
