I saved a dog!

Dogs. Gotta love em.

So, here I am, moving into my new house. The Bekins moving guys are coming in and out unloading boxes and furniture. Im bending over, hooking up my DVD player to my TV so I can relax and watch a movie later.

*Snif Sniff*

Something is sniffing my ass? WTF kind of moving crew are these Bekins freaks? I turn around to wail upon the sicko that sniffing my ass only to find that it is a dog. Not just any dog, a Jack Russel F*****g Terrier! Holy Crap! A Jack Russel has just wondered into my house while the door was open!

I pick the ah heck up, who is panting like mad and very dirty. I stroll on outside to see if maybe he is one my my new neighboors dog. I ask a few people on the street if they know who this dog belongs too. Nope, nobody knows who he is.

Poor guy still panting, so I take him inside and hook him up with some Evian bottled water. After lapping up a large quantity of water, he looks at me with thankful eyes!

I gotta name him. How about Reggie? Yes, Reggie will do just fine!

He stays with me for 5 days while I place a few adds in the local newspaper and call all the local animal shelters to see if anyone reported a lost Jack Russel.

Lo and behold, I get a call from a frantic woman who described Reggie perfectly and rushes over to my place to pick up her long lost pooch! Tearfull woman whips out her check book before I even know whats happing and writes a check for $500! I politley refuse and after much argument she realizes that I will not take the money.

The next day I check my mailbox and the woman left me the check for the money even though I refused. Being as I might hurt her feelings in continuing to refuse a reward she deems as necessary, I drop a letter a her house telling her I have donated the money to the local animal shelter. I dropped off the money earlier today.
 
You did a good thing 😀

Sadly, I couldn't donate the money like that, too much to pass by, but again, i think you did the right thing

Yup, and yup. And dogs do rule. How far away had he wandered ?
 
Every once in a while, an ATOTer actually does some good in this world! Great story man, and congrats on your new place...nice way to start out!
 
About a mile and a half away from his place. Was on the street for three days before he decided to drop by. Normally, I cant stand unanounced guests, but the four legged kind can come over any time!
 
whoa 3 days without real food or water... I wonder how long our Pom was lost for before he got to the shelter we picked him up at.
 
good man,
I wouldn't take the money either, most of people send you a card or bottle of wine or something when you refuse. Plus most of them realize it's not about the money when you refuse for the 2nd time 🙂

I've found a ton of cellphones and such (at our house...after parties). People are always really happy and thankfull when you call em up from their cell saying that you found it... especially if they cant remeber where they were or dont know that it's missing...
 
Sorry, but I always think everything you talk about is pure bullsh1t, purely from the fact that you're always so eager to make stories so everyone will like you.

But if you really did this, :beer: for you for being a great person!

ROFL. Most of my stories ARE pure bullshit. However, this is not one of them.

Funny i just saved a dog too! A pure begal. Poor thing was in the middle of a 4 lane highway, nobody was stopping! So i desided to do a u-turn and try and get her in my car. She came right in. I posted flyers all over town and finally a lady called 3 days later and said "Please stop putting posters up of my dog, i dont want the stupied thing anymore!" I couldnt belive it!! Pretty dog too. I kept her untill we could find it a good home, and we did. end of story. Im still waiting for my "good karma"
