Well left work was driving along the road quite happy and this boxer came running out in front of my car slammed the breaks and it was fine had traffic behind me now as i slammed on them so was driving about 5mph up the road looking in my mirror and could see the dog running back and forth and standing on pavement. So turned car round and went back to where the dog was running about deserted my car in front of someones drive and went looking for the dog it ran past me right on to the road luckily nothing happened cars just tooted their horns (no one else came to help what the hell is that all about!!) any how finally managed to catch the dog it was friendly but you could see it was looking for someone it had a harness on. One time i didnt have my mobile as its knacked or a spare lead in the car so hung about for 5 mins then put the dog in my car came back to my work as i only work 5mins away from where i found the dog. Now the strange thing is the dogs tongue was hangin out the side of its mouth just dangling there and the eye was a bit droopy as well he didnt move his tongue looked like he had a stroke any way, went to the cat and dog home bloody closed couldnt get in thought cant take it home someone is probably going daft looking for their dog. well he sat in the back of the car quite the thing looking out of the window. Went to portobello police station and handed it in with all my details etc etc.
My boss had phoned me about 6.15 saying where is the dog you better not of taken it home...as if i would i have 3!!! no so told him the story of the cat and dog closed etc, he seen the dog in my car when i came back to work.
so 20 minutes later he phoned again and said you aint going to believe this i was driving along london road and seen a boxer with its tongue hanging out and thought there is no danger there are 2 boxers with that tongue, so he stopped his van jumped out and said to the guy where the hell did you get that dog it was just in portobello police station to which the guy replied yeah (all panicky my boss is a big man...lol) i thought it was a female that handed it in James yeah it was my personal assistant ah right chat chat chat. The guy was delighted i had found it and rescued it etc James asked whats wrong with its tongue and eye it has been like that for years its nerve trouble , he then asked how does it drink the guy said you give it a bowl of water and he just dunks his face in it.
He has had the dog for 10 years and it has never wandered or ran away he was walking along a path to a park was walking for 5 mins he turned and the dog was gone he was stopping joggers, cyclists etc where the path is their is a building in between and 2 parks i was at the top end with his dog he was at the bottom.
I am so pleased i got the dog and got it back to his owner and he was delighted made me feel all fuzzy was worried sick when i was home about the dog spending the night in a kennel at the cat and dog home....he got reunited with his owner!!!!
Now the thing that is bloody annoying is the amount of people that drove past and walked past the dog and didnt help what the hell is that all about!!
Sorry for the long winded story.....

you for catching the dog 
Cant believe how some people just ignore the plight of animals in need 
it was obvious it lost and needed help running around dodging traffic with a harness on 
Atleast i know he got some pain relief and they did try to save him but his kidneys packed up 
You should feel proud of yourself 
and probably saved that dogs life
amazing Lorz well done you.
