There are few feelings as bad as realizing your dog has run away. We have three dogs and one of them in particular, named Roman, likes to head off on solo adventures whenever we turn our backs. Well, one day Roman escaped and my wife and I hiked all over the neighborhood trying to find him. After about an hour, we got into the car and widened our search. We spent another 30 minutes driving around, totally distraught, when we decided to check in at home. We thought perhaps Roman would come home on his own.
When we pulled into the driveway, we were greatly relieved to see our missing dog sitting at the back door, waiting patiently to go inside. We assumed that he had come back the same way he had escaped, until we noticed that someone had attached a note to Roman's collar. It read, "Please buy me some new tags so I won't be dognapped by a stranger." It was signed, "A Friend."
Evidently someone we knew had found Roman wandering around and took the opportunity to remind us that if we didn't want to lose our dog, we had better put a mark of ownership on him.
