A story that will make everyone feel good.
I got a phone call on my cell phone this morning while I was sitting at the salon with tinfoil on my head. The caller was nearly impossible to understand because she was crying so hard, and I nearly clicked off the phone, until I heard her say the name "Pat C".
Over the weekend, I got an email from someone I know who is involved in greyhound rescue. She told me a long, sad story about an evacuee from New Orleans who had left her beloved and aging greyhound behind when she fled the city. She was now beside herself and looking to find her dog. Like finding a needle in a haystack, huh?
But I got the dog's name, and luckily the owner was able to tell me the dog's racing name. I made some phone calls to the National Greyhound Association and was able to get the dog's ear tattoo numbers. With that information, I was able to give a definitive description of the dog to the Humane Society network, and Pat C Roundandaround, now known as Rounder, was located in a Valdosta, Georgia kennel. Owner and Rounder were reunited this morning after a shelter worker offered to drive the freaked out dog to Memphis, where the dog's owners are camped out.
Suffice it to say, Rounder's owners were worried sick about their pooch, and having him back is one less thing for them to worry about.
eta... wow, this is my 2,000th post.
