Last week, en route home one lovely afternoon from Stony Plain I saw a black & white dog laying in the ditch on the side of the highway. It was a sad sight, he was just laying there with his head on his paws. Anyone who knows me knows I can't pass that and forget it, so I pulled a U-turn at the next intersection to go see if the doggie was alright. I noticed the car in front of me made a U-turn too, and who would have guessed that they had the same idea. As they came to a stop across from the puppy, the dog jumped up and ran to the drivers' door, tail wagging.
Two things came out of this- one, the dog was fine. Just taking a snooze in a very bad spot, but dogs will be dogs. Two, I witnessed a stranger take time out of his or her day to ensure a strange animal was okay. I was thrilled- sadly, I usually see people just speed by without a second glance. But, not that day.
It was a good day.
