The day after the accident, I was up at dawn searching again. When it was time to leave for work, I left our garage door open and set up a blanket with Bailey’s favorite toys and some food and water, hoping he’d somehow find his way home.
I hadn’t been in my office long when I got a call from my local police department. It was the dispatcher[13], saying she had a black dog with white paws matching Bailey’s description in her office. Could I come right over?
She told me that shortly after the crash, Bailey had wandered into a nearby apartment complex. A man who lives there tried to grab his leash, but Bailey ran away. When the man saw Bailey still hanging around the next morning, he had the idea to walk up to him and say “sit” in a firm, commanding voice.
Being the “Best Learner” in obedience class, Bailey sat. My Good Samaritan[14] grabbed the leash, and walked Bailey the short distance to the police station. When I arrived, I found Bailey curled up under the dispatcher’s desk, snoring and sleeping off the many dog cookies she had given him to keep him busy.
I later put Bailey’s “Best Learner” certificate in a frame and sent his rescuer a thank-you card festooned with cute dog cartoons.[15] And I signed up Bailey for advanced obedience class so he could master the next lesson: “Bailey, come.”
