Meet Samantha
This
rescue tale, entitled, "Found Her
Day," comes from Greg Korycki.
On Sept 26,
1999, Carrie and I just happened to go for a drive, with
no particular place in mind. We found ourselves 15 miles
away from home driving down a road to one of the local
lakes.
We spotted a dog underneath a park bench, not thinking
much about itit was a park. When driving back, there
was that dog again, just laying under this bench. This
time we realized no one was in sight. We stopped the car
and Carrie walked over to her. The dog looked wary, but
her tail was wagging. Carrie sat down on a bench
and,
after a bit of coaxing, the dog went to her. The two sat
for a few minutes, the dog looking from Carrie to the
car. We finally got the hint, opened
the car door and in the dog jumped!
We had found dogs in the past and had always found their
families. This time it was different. There was a house
several hundred feet away, so I walked over and asked
the homeowner if the dogs was his. He said no and that
the dog had been sitting there for three days. Why, we
wondered, would someone let a dog just sit there for
three days?
Well, we decided to take her home and look for her
family. We tried everything from the local vets, to
local rescues, and even the newspaper. This went on for
weeks, and no claimed her. After a few weeks we thought
that even if the owner was found, we might not be able
to give that dog upwe
were falling in love.
A Very Happy Girl This is how Samantha became our first dog, how she
adopted us. Some people say we saved her, but, in
reality, she saved us. Sam is now about 9 to
10-years-old. That day seven years ago was one of the
best days ever!
