GRATITUDE: Rescued dog’s owner says thanks

We’ve had the only all-West Seattle lost/found pets webpage here for 15 years, but sometimes a lost pet gets found before either owners or finders ever have to post about it, thanks to helpful people. Whitney sent us one such story this afternoon, wanting to publicly offer words of gratitude:

THANK YOU to the Admiral community near Aegis? We are dog-watching my sister’s dog and he got out our front gate (and we live on Admiral Way- eek!). Good news – we FOUND HIM but if it hadn’t been for the help of so many kind neighbors I don’t know that we would have found him as quickly as we did!

People were yelling from their cars telling us (as we were running around the neighborhood) which direction he went. I eventually ended up getting into a car with strangers who took me to him (and coincidentally my husband had just found him seconds before, hiding in a carport of someone’s house). We are just super grateful for this community of dog lovers helping each other out!

    That dog had a ton of fun, I bet.  Running loose with half the town looking for him — best day of his life.

    Approximately ten years ago, my dog’s collar came off (standard cheap nylon collar) because of worn collar holes. He led me on a frantic chase through the Alaska Junction, and he finally allowed me to capture him when I was at the absolute last gasp of my physical ability at the time. I was/am grateful to drivers who stopped during my chase.

    He was found hiding in a carport, That hardly sounds like the best day of his life. Thank goodness he wasn’t hit by a car.

    The gate was left open and two dogs chased my husband down Admiral as he was walking home. After he outran them, they found him again and started chasing him again. Please keep pets leashed and/or gates closed to avoid this situation in the future. Again, the gate was left open.

Sorry, comment time is over.
