Strangers' kind actions help corral escapee dog

Dear Editor: It does not take a major catastrophe to discover there are kind people in this world willing to help. On June 31, my son dropped his little miniature pincher/Boston terrier off at our place to be cared for, while he was away.

Dear Editor:

On June 31, my son dropped his little miniature pincher/Boston terrier off at our place to be cared for, while he was away. But the dog was very anxious to get back to his owner and wiggled out of his harness, escaping out onto very busy East Keith Road. First he ran east, then crossed the road and ran west, zigzagging the street several times. All traffic stopped on the 1300 and 1200 block of East Keith Road during this incident, and I would like to thank all the people in their cars for their kind consideration.

But the people I would like to thank most are the nice young man at the bus stop, who followed the dog on his bike and brought him back to us and Raymond and his two children, who offered me a ride in their car to comb the side streets to find him. We are truly grateful!
