On the way home from church today in Dallas, we came to a busy intersection and what do I see?
I see a poor, little terrier mix dog confused and scared trying to make it through the cars.
What Did I Do?
In my church dress and high heels, I ran out to get the dog to safety on the sidewalk.
She was frightened, but glad at the same time that someone helped her out. She rolled over on her back with her belly to me, hoping I wouldn’t hurt her.
Well, she certainly came across the right person then!
She had no tag, she had mats in her hair and was full of burrs and was dirty too.
I ran back to the vehicle with her where my husband, with an understanding look on his face, started to scan the immediate area, as we drove around, trying to see if someone was looking for her, in case she just ran out of a yard or something.
The problem was that we were in an industrial area and there weren’t any houses and no one searching for a lost pet.
So, we went to the closest animal shelter, but it is Sunday and they’re not open. So, we called the number provided and a person called us to come collect her and see if she had a chip or could be reunited with an owner that reported her missing.
She was so sweet and very happy to give me a good cuddle for 2 hrs. While we waited, we gave her some food and water, as she was clearly hungry and very thirsty.
What a sweetheart – I think she was a bit older too.
She looked like she was mixed with a Yorkshire terrier or similar black & tan terrier and maybe a Schnauzer or a Poodle.
If you’re looking for this dog, she was found at the intersection of Plano Rd. & Forest Ln. in Garland, Texas (suburb of Dallas).
She has a partially cleft nose and her right ear missing, but you wouldn’t really know it unless you had a good look.
Please contact Garland Animal Services to reconnect with her.
She is such a sweet soul! I would miss her terribly if she went missing from our home – I fell in love with her immediately!
It could very well be that she got lost because of the terrible thunderstorms we had last night that knocked down numerous fences in our area…Poor baby!
Who knows, thunder and lightning used to scare one of our dogs until they were so fearful, they’d run and hide anywhere.
* PLEASE: Keep a collar and tags on your dog! We could have simply drove her home. Thank God we found her before she got injured out there!
I hope she found her way back to her owner’s loving arms! I would be going absolutely crazy without her!
If this is your dog – you are truly blessed to have her in your life – she is an ANGEL!
Very well behaved, so gentle and just as sweet as pie!
She seemed to be really exhausted from her ordeal, as she snuggled up into my arms and had a good, little rest.
I’m so glad she let me pick her up and trusted me that I was going to help her. Animals are so smart, aren’t they?

I hope you can help this Yorkshire Terrier Cross find her way home on Terrier Lover! Until next time…
Love Your Terrier,
