    +1 and then some!

    The owner must have been thrilled to see the dogs in such good care. I hope they fully appreciate your efforts.

      I think he was mostly embarrassed. Young guy, in his 20s. But appreciative.

        You’re lucky the guy didn’t shoot you for stealing his dogs. Pretty sure that’d be legal in your neck of the woods.

            A total mensch are you.

            I’ve long considered finding lost pets the very best thing about social media.

              Scary when dogs are lost. Great job - glad all is well.

                  This evening I noticed across the pond a couple dogs running free in no man's land between the water and the backyard fences of the waterfront homes. I hoped they were off leash but under control. 30 minutes later I drove down to our mailbox, which is at least a half mile from where I saw the dogs, and when I got out of the car, the two dogs ran up to me out of nowhere, very excited and wanting attention. Cute young dogs, maybe 6 months old, brothers from the looks of it. One had a collar, but no tag. The other didn't have a collar. It was dark and the dogs were clearly lost. I opened my back car door and they both jumped in. Drove home, feeling like a dognapper, and grabbed two leashes and took them for a walk towards where I had seen them running before. Within 20 minutes the owner drove past and relieved us of them. That could have gone a lot worse. Might have had to figure out accommodations with our two existing dogs.

                  Can't very well just leave them outside running around to get run over by a car, right?

                  @Horace that's good for you to do. Good also that the dogs were friendly and jumped right to your car.

                    Thanks TG. Funny thing, I found a small lizard in the car a couple days later. I am very sure it got there by hitching a ride on one of those dogs. I shooed it out if the car before my wife saw it thank goodness.

                      Excellent. Good for you, Horace.

                      At first I liked this story. Then I thought about how many ants @Horace probably ran over in his car on the way to get the dogs. RIP, ants.
