Gus: A Lost Dog



This is Gus. He's a German Short-Haired Pointer that I found limping across the street in front of my dorm while I was on my way to Math class. He came right up to me when I called "Puppy!" to him and I used my bike chain as a leash.

L watched over him so I would not be late to my class (which I almost was). I LOVE YOU FOREVER L!!! Anyways, after my class I took him to my truck and turned it on for him since he was REALLY hot. He ended up curling up in the passenger seat and going to sleep. He was SO VERY CUTE!!! L had already tried to call his owner and left a message and I had called the vet clinic listed on his tag but we were unsuccessful. After leaving another message the guy finally called me back. It turns out that he lived somewhere near the campus and actually went here. He had his room mate come pick up Gus and I told him that I suspected he either was hit by a car and something was broke in his left front foot or his pad (which was torn up) was just hurting him really bad. The guy thanked me and left.

My mom was joking with me about having a sign or something that told animals to come to me for help because they always seem to. Haha! L was happy that she got to spend time with a dog for an hour and so was I.

Love,
