Lost Dogs?

[West]

Today at around 7.30, 8pm right in front of the WATER WAY (new housing) on springvale rd,

I saw two poor little souls wondering on the road, scared, lost, confused. One was black and white, the other was a bit like a chuawawa, many times almost

got run over by heartless, scumbag, pricks driver (Siver honda accord, orange wagon rex driver).

I stopped the car, stoped traffic, managed to pick one up but i couldn't catch the other one as he was too afraid of everything and kept running away from me

doesn't matter how hard i, my GF and some other drivers that also stopped to help. The GF was crying desperately tried to save him but he just kept running

away from us.

We rang RSPCA but only got to their automatic answer so i drove to a near by Animal Shelter in Keysborough. They were also closed but luckily there were

small shed on the side that said Emergency Shelter, it was a free access to a row of about 10 little cells, each has blanket, water and a one way door that once

shut can only be open by authorised that has access to from the other side of the fence. Also there were forms to fill out, some sort of description about what

happend, where did you pick this animal up, leave your contact details ......sort of things.

I left him there with a broken heart as i don't have a choice, if i have my own property, i'd accomodate him until the people that work there return the next day,

the poor thing was too affraid, too lost to care about anything else, probably a little adventure that went wrong. Once i've made sure that he settled in, i left a

large fries from Maccas that i've just bought and went back to the same place again with hoping that i won't see the other one's body on the road but thankfully,

that did not happen though i couldn't find him either, i hoped that he ran into the FUEL service station and got pick up by someone else as well.

Its now 2am and i can't sleep as i kept thinking about the poor fellas, i'll come back to check on him tomorrow morning.

Sorry for a long post and its only about a small dog but having owning pet dogs since i was so little that i could remember, i love them very much, they are very

smart and probably have bigger heart than some of the so call Human out there (terrorist). I just want to get a mesage across to the Dogs owner out there or ones that are

about to own one, please look after your dog, have them chipped, walk them regularly so that they remember the way home, if not keep them well lock as they like

to venture around. If you think you or your kid can't look after one, please don't buy one and dump him/her later at the animal shelter as they will get put down.

No one would like to have their live taken away from them, so are animals, they can be happy, sad, hurt, sulk just like a human being, dogs will protect you till they

die.

u did the right thing champ. shame bout the other dog tho hopefully someone has done the same thing and either taken him to a better home or taken him to the shelter. or beyond this the irresponsible owner has shown up

You got a good heart son.

Ive had my little dog(s) run away from our past place many times, cheek thing would dig the dirt under the fence and run around the suburb like crazy, so i know how it feels to come home and your dog is missing, or suprisingly comes up behind you.

I did see something lying on springvale road (near water ways) last night at around 1 Looked like it did get hit by a car hard

good on you my friend, always good to help the lost dogs (though i wouldnt go near a rotteweiler or something that scary that is wandering around).....i got a beagle, and wont let anyone touch him. But he did escape ones via our back gate - thank heavens the people who found him owned a beagle themselves - and they knew where we lived. But yeah, ensure that the whole backyard is fenced off (which is what we have done now so spence cant escape), and have the dog chipped, walked etc.

That is probably one of the nicest things ive heard in a long time.

Good on you, not too many people out there that would have done that!

Unfortunately, you are right !

I came around the shelter today to see if the dog was alright and to find that people there actually work today so knowing he's in good hand now, i went for a drive back there to see and hope that it was just a possum or you might have mistook those sand bags for him but sad enough, i did see something similar to him, same colour too, at the exact spot where i last spotted him, right in front of that ReFuel gas station, can't hardly recognise anymore. RIP doggy!

Oh well his time is up, we tried our best. I hope the one that i left at the Shelter have a micro chip on him so the Shelter can trace and send him home instead of get put down.
