In reply to the discussion: Yesterday [View all]suffragette
(12,232 posts)79. This reminds me of a similar situation a few years back
My sister and I had decided to go catch a ferry to an island near here. We were on the way and on a busy road when we saw a poodle in the street, dodging cars. My sister stopped the car, I hopped out and waved at cars to stop and got to the poodle and scooped him up. He was an elderly dog and was trembling in fear. Luckily, he had a collar, so we called his owner, who was very happy we had found his dog. We waited for the owner to drive to us and when he arrived, he was elderly as well. It was beautiful to see these old friends reunited.
