Found a puppy today

I have true animal magnetism - lost animals in a 20 mile radius seem destined to find their way to me! That is how I ended up with 8 cats and a dog! I was taking my son to school this morning and in the middle of the busy 5 lane highway was a 6 month old black Lab puppy. People were driving slowly and carefully but the dog obviously did not have "street smarts" and would dart back and forth. It was gut wrenching to watch! I quickly dropped my son off and zoomed back to where the dog was. He was now sitting safely on the side of the road. I couldn't let him dart back into traffic so I scooped him up and took him home. Right across the street from the school is a large residential area and he very well could have been going back home but I just could not take the chance of him going back into that main road. So, here he is, happy as a clam on my bed. I passed out 200 fliers in the area where I found him and I hope to God someone claims him! Just the other day I helped get a cow that got loose back into his fenced in pasture. Of course, I had help. I was the first one to discover him just wandering the road only about a tenth of a mile from that main highway where I found the puppy. Sometimes I feel like Dr. Dolittle!

When I was growing up, I lived in the country on a farm, and we had animals of all sorts find their way to my house, too!
