On Monday, on the last part of the late night journey home my headlights caught the red eyes of an animal in the road in front of me - I was expecting it might be a fox and it would jump into the hedge...but no! Despite dipping the lights, the creature was running straight towards me...and as I slowed and got alongside it, it was a Springer Spaniel! Very friendly but shouldn't have been out past 11pm running on the main road! He was very friendly and with a bit of persuasion jumped straight into the car. No collar...thank goodness for our microchip scanner...running it down his neck...beep...chip found! Off to the local vets, who thankfully had a late night member of staff on duty who could look him up on their database. When I went to the car to get the piece of paper with his chip number, I saw him sat in the drivers seat just holding my yoghurt (ready for breakfast) that he'd found in the passenger seat. I went back inside the surgery, the vet tried the contact numbers of his owners several times...but no answer...so she agreed he could stay there until they could be contacted. Borrowing a lead, I went to get him from the car and with a bit of persuasion he came into the vets where he could get settled in for the night.
Job done, back to the car just before mid-night...and I couldn't help but laugh when I found on the backseat of the car a perfectly clean and empty yoghurt pot, completely polished off, no mess on the car! Obviously he was a very hungry boy and to be fair I hadn't said he couldn't have it...it was my last one as well...so that was breakfast gone!!!! I found out that his name is Jester, which is very appropriate (!). Happily the next day he was reunited with his owners!!!
