Mike and I went to breakfast this morning with my parents. On the way home, I saw something move along the highway, where two ramps split. What I saw was a starving Chihuahua. I stopped immediately and walked back. The little guy was standing under the guard rail watching traffic, but not making any attempt to cross.
As I walked up, he bolted down the hill toward a culvert and barked at me. Over the next fifteen minutes, I inched my way closer and finally got ahold of him. He cuddle right up to me and didn't try to fight or get away.
Luckily, he had a collar with tags on it. We called the number and left a message. Being Friday, we assume that his momma is at work and won't be calling back until later this evening. I am confident that she will call because he has a rabies tag from 2011 and people don't put money into dogs they're just going to toss away... do they??
In the meantime, the little dude is in a crate in the garage. He's been out to potty several times. He was starved for water, and had eaten a little canned food and some yogurt to help get things moving. AND, he is safe until his momma comes to get him.
