[QUOTE="DoughnutANZ, post: 1051800, member: 87627"] I am very pleased that this happens to other people and not just me. Somehow I seem to be a magnet for strays. My last time the dog was a very cute, well trained and socialised Scottish terrier. It walked behind me. Initially I tried to shoo it away but I was on a busy road and I didn't want it to run out into the traffic and so I ignored for a while and sped up. It kept pace, just behind me. I came to where I needed to cross the road and thought about rushing across before it got there but had visions of a squashed dog and so I waited for it. When it came to the edge of the road I told it to "sit" and it did. Again I thought about leaving it sitting there but decided that was too dangerous. When there was a good break in the traffic I told it to "come" and it followed me at heel across the road and as I walked. The further I walked the more concerned I became that it would never find its way back home. Eventually I got to a service station and asked inside if anyone would take responsibility for the dog but no one was interested. Meanwhile the dog sat patiently just outside the door. Outside there was a man sitting in a parked car and on a whim I asked him. He looked at the dog, said that he liked the look of it and bent down to pick it up. The dog ran away in fright. I walked to where the dog was waiting and bent down to pick it up. It didn't run away and so I carried it to the man and handed it to him. He looked on the dog's collar and found a phone number. I hadn't thought of that! Not a dog person. I waited while he called the number on the collar but there was no answer but I heard the guy leave a message with his name and number. He then put the dog in his car and drove away. I was a bit concerned that he seemed to like the dog too much and that he might keep it but there was no way that I could have done anything better and so I let it go. It was a very nice dog, as dogs go. [/QUOTE]
