The next day Mommy brought Daddy to work and then ran some errands. Us children back home had a pretty typical day, until Mommy calls and tells us to open the garage door because she has a large stray dog in the car that she wants to put in the basement. We all looked at each other and made a mad dash for the door, schoolwork forgotten. Sure enough sitting in the car is a large dog who looked part english pointer part beagle. Score 7 humans (Daddy being at work) to 7 animals, 2 dogs 5 cats. Tied!
The stray dog had a collar on so we called the number, but no one answered. Since it was the middle of the afternoon the owner was probably at work, so we left a message. Then we looked at the address. The dog was from the far side of a neighboring town, 14 miles away! This unfortunately leaving us with alot more questions than answers we settled down to wait for the owner to call back. That night the owner did call back and explained the dogs presence. The dog, who's name was Buck, was being trained by the mans son who lives right around the corner from us and had escaped while the son was at work. The son was already looking for him. So we gave him our address and he came and picked up Buck. Score 7 humans to 6 animals. Humans in the lead once again.
