The poor guy was worried the doggie would be hurt running around in all the end of the school day traffic. I noticed the dog had a tag complete with phone number and address so I said I'd take care of it (actually I would have any way but a phone number does make it easy).
I left a note for the neighbors but it turned out Charlie (see useful things tags) wasn't theirs. I had already called the phone number and left a message.
Charlie made himself at home. After he Sammy and Gambit all sniffed each other they all just lay down and went to sleep.
Charlies Mom returned my call after a couple hours. And Charlies Dad came to get him a few minutes latter. They were both so grateful that I'd taken care of him. The Dad actually called me an angel. I decided not to explain why that is totally not true and just told him (quite truthfully) that I was happy I could help. Sunday the doorbell rang and again it was Charlie this time with his family. They brought us some cookies and a thank you card.
It was nice that I could do something so simple that made someone else so happy.

I'm glad you were home and were able to help.
A lot of people would have been at work or leaving for it.
Good thing the crossing guard didn't bring you a stray child instead. Those are much more trouble than a dog. :-)
Roses-Weirdly I was thinking the same thing. In that case though I'd call the police.
Charlie is so cute. I would have wanted to keep him! Make a trade at least, I am willing to give up Sam and Nelly these days.
I know! He ws very cute and friendsly and well behaved. If they'd shown any interest in Sammy I'd happily trade. gambit....is a pain in the but but he has personality.
