Last night I was driving down the road and came upon a dog running loose. When I got out to investigate it ran up to a lady and was bothering her dog, who was getting angry. She was shouting for help. To defuse the situation I made come hither gestures and the dog came over and jumped into my car.

I phoned Bylaw Enforcement but nobody was available and they suggested bringing him to a 24 hour vet which I did. They were not able to take him but did check for licence and chip. No dice.

Not wanting to leave him outside in freezing weather I took him back where I found him and told him to take me home. He took off at a run dragging me behind and ran up to a house with a “beware of dog” sign on it. I knocked but no one came to the door but a little yap dog. Then he tried the house next door but lost interest. I gave up, brought him home, found a cage big enough to hold him and we settled in for the night. My dogs and cats were not amused.

I got onto social media and discovered someone at the vet clinic had already started a thread so I contributed what I knew. Other people joined in.

Christmas morning I got a phone call warning me to check social media. The owner had been found. A quick phone call to check particulars only the owner would know, a two minute minute drive and dog and owner were reunited. Turns out they did live at the house next door.

One would presume somebody would have noticed something what with Trumpf claiming there’s miles and miles of it.

Wouldn’t there be a paper trail of building permits or environmental impact statements?

***Clarification - I mean specifically Trump’s grand plans for a really big wall, not the existing stuff***
