Poor little stray

[Lab_adore]

Maxx, Steve and SIL came up to meet me off the bus today. As we started walking down the hill we spotted a small dog across the other side of the road and his back legs weren't working properly . His owner(s) were nowhere in sight and he ran straight across the road towards us. We grabbed him and of course Maxx was leaping around like a loon and between holding Maxx and trying to stop the little dog from once again running on the road we were in chaos. A lovely young man who was working in the car park ran across to help us. He obviously loved dogs too.

Anyway long story short we whipped Maxx's lead off and SIL made a noose so she could hold the small dog while OH grabbed Maxx by his collar and the three of us ran down the hill to home to get the car. I stayed with Maxx at home and OH drove back up the hill and he and SIL took the dog to the local vet who gladly accepted him. The vet is going to treat him and check if he is microchipped and hopefully find his owners

My heart bled at his little face looking at us like 'please help me, I'm lost and I'm hurt'. We don't know if he was hit by a car or possibly was abandoned to avoid vet bills. The vet has our details and said he would let us know what happens

I do hope the little fella makes a good recovery and finds his owners.

 

[Boogie]

Bless him, I hope he’s OK

 

[HAH]

Oh @Lab_adore , quick work - well done for handling the situation so well, and at the very least that little pup will now get care and attention. You’re fabulous

 

[snowbunny]

Well done, you! Oh, I do hope he's OK and finds his way back home.

Poor baby! Well done to you all!

Maybe if his owner can’t be found Maxx would like a new friend..

 

[FayRose]

Well done you. I hope the poor little thing hasn't been abandoned. Good that the vet will let you know what happens.

Oh my that's awful... well done on rescuing him and saving him from getting run over. Poor little chap.

 

[Joy]

So glad you managed to get hold of him - hope he'll be ok.

 

[Shaz82]

Good job, I hope he was genuinely lost and not dumped and that his owners are found but maybe a new addition to the household?

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Good for you. I hope he finds his way home or to a new home who will care for him.

 

[Bruer]

How sad, hope he's on the mend and his owner is looking for him. Well done you for giving him a chance x

 

[VanillaBean]

Hope he gets found by his owner and it is just one that got away because someone left the gate open.
Otherwise Maxx has a new friend...

 

[Jacqui-S]

Poor little sweetheart. Well done for an admirable rescue. Do hope he's OK. Please keep us posted.

his little face looking at us like 'please help me, I'm lost and I'm hurt'.

How sad! It’s lucky that you were there for him and could take him to the vet. I hope he’s ok and we get an update soon.
