As I headed home a couple of hours ago, a staggering, weak, confused senior dog caught my eye as she dangerously dodged traffic on a busy highway. I immediately turned around and made my way back to her. She wanted no part of being caught and I prayed I wouldn't be run over trying to catch this sweet soul. I want to thank a man named Jim and a lady whose name I think was Hannah who stopped to help  as countless other vehicles passed. We finally managed to get her into a school parking lot and the most amazing thing happened.Two teens, Josh and Drake showed up AND at the same time a huge truck pulled into the parking lot where she was still trying to avoid being caught.The feeble old gal darted under that truck for safety and the teens proceeded to crawl under and catch her. These four people and the trucker restored a bit of my faith in mankind this afternoon.

The sweet dog,now being called Harriet, is safely at Cornerstone Animal Hospital. She smelled horrible, was eaten up with fleas and ticks, is positive for ehrlichia,has a hind leg that at one point was broken and not treated, hence her limp. She has no collar, tag, or microchip, but tonight she is warm, safe, fed and tomorrow she will go to a foster home on meds.

**She will need Rimadyl for the rest of her life. No stairs and a fenced in yard is required**
