Happy Ending

The friendly hound dog was reunited with his owner at 9 PM Sunday.
This was thanks to our lively on-line area "magazine."
In addition to news, community calendars, event coverage and editorials, CM provides a 'Lost and Found" service.  I posted the above photo of the hound in mid-afternoon, giving his description, our location and phone number. 
I was just out of the shower and into night clothes [after my strenuous time with the carpet removal] so didn't go out to speak with the man who arrived within moments of speaking with J. on the phone.
He lives a few miles from us, on the other side of the main highway, and had dropped in to visit a friend of his who lives up the road from our place.
Evidently the wily hound followed him cross-lots.
Whether the dog's owner saw the post or was notified by his friend--a man whom I know to be a CM reader--the outcome was a speedy reunion.
I probably don't have to state that I am greatly relieved to have one less animal-related issue to sort.
It is good to know that the amiable hound is back where he belongs!

  2. glad to know the wanderer got home, I understand hounds are very independent and become very focussed when they get interested in a scent.

  4. That's good news MM. A "found" dog was mentioned at one of the Fleamarkets we were at. Someone came to claim him and took him away, and then later the real owner turned up . . . Glad yours went to his real owner : )
