Some people would have let her go...Some people might have taken her home. Some people might not have bothered to check her tags.
But Max and I did! While out on a brief walk around my neighborhood, a cute little dog was running up the street. She was obviously friendly, as she was not growling but sniffing our trail and following us. I patted my legs and whistled and she came right over, and knew to "sit" and "stay", which I had her do while I checked her tags.
Her name was Nellie and she lived a block away, but had no leash. So Max called the number on the tag and Nellie's owners came and got her.
But she sure was cute, and I liked her a lot. She was very sweet.
Here's a photo of her and I together waiting for the owners on the street.
