Chim & Choop: Rescue Rangers

We just did our good deed of the day!  While Linda was walking us, there were two Pitt Bull/Lab mix dogs running lose on the main 4 lane highway!!  They were both sweating and one was limping, so Linda knew they had been lost awhile and she was afraid one of them got hit by a car.  There was no way she was letting the dogs run lose.  She called them over and they both came right up to us.  Both Chim and I made them feel welcome while Linda looped my leash around the limping guys neck.  His sister was more skittish about the leash, but Linda figured she would follow us all home so Linda could put them in our backyard until we found the owner.  Neither dog was wearing a tag.  Nope, she took off in the other direction so we had to run after her.  Finally, we caught up with her heading down the court.  She ran to a house and up unto the porch.  YES!  They found their way home.  No one answered the door, so Linda went to the neighbor.  Turned out the dogs did live there and were real escape artist.  The women helped her get Oreo and Emma into the backyard and in two seconds they had pushed back open the gate!  They caught them again and this time Linda went to the wood pile in the backyard and piled up a bunch of wood in front of the gate.  In all the excitement Linda did not get a picture of them.
