A Good Deed

As we were driving up to Angel Paws we noticed two dogs walking alone by the side of the road.  Bowsers we were concerned.  As we pulled in we noted the pups were near the gate.

Dad got the two of us out and got in the park.  Our pal Red was there with his Dog Dad Joel.  We got to the gate and entered.  Dad was hoping the two Australian Shepherds would follow us in, no such luck.  Joel came up and called the pair in a high voice and one pup entered the park.  The other stayed outside, nuts.  Joel got his leash, called "pup, pup, pup" in the high pitched voice again, the pup hesitated.  Next he sat down and did it again.  The pup came, he noted the pup had no collar, so he looped his leash around her neck and led her in.  The two hoomans, let go a sigh of relief.

Dog Dad didn't recognize the pups and the two of them decided to wait and see if their pawrents would drive by looking for them.  Red's Dad was a Labrador Retriever breeder, a certified pet trainer and even wrote a couple books.  Click here to read what Essex and Deacon wrote about him in a previous post.   Joel told us that he remembered hearing at a conference that if you used a high pitch voice a pup was more likely to come to you.  Essex looked at Dad, and told him she could have told him that.  

The two Aussies explored and played with Sherman, but nobody drove by looking for them.  After about a half hour and they figured they would call the base police.  It was then that Dog Dad thought of his friend and her husband.  He had seen them every once in a Blue Moon walking their two Aussies.  He remember one was named Dakota.  He called out "Dakota" and one pup came to him.  Bowsers, Dad just might have figured it out.

One of the Sisters

Using his cell phone he called his boss, who had the number for base security.  He called security and asked them to call their Dog Mom.  Sure enough it was their pups, Montana and Dakota.  The base police called back and said their Dog Mom wanted to thank both Dog Dads and the two pups Paw was on his way.  When Dakota and Montana's Dog Dad got their, he thanked both Dog Dads more.  

In the end a whole group of hoomans working together like dogs do.  The result was a happy tail.  Dog Dad told us that Dog People tend to look out for each other.  Guess they get a pack mentality from their pups.  We know Dog Dad will go to bed with a smile tonight.
