I'll start with a disclaimer the dog in this story is not a cavalier but it could have been One warm summer evening several years ago I was setting at the computor. The windows and doors of the house were open and the lights were on. It was a Friday evening and I was the only one on my block home. I answered a knock on my door and there stood two Wichita police officers with a small poodle in their arms. They had found the dog wondering in the street. This was a well groomed little poodle but an old one that had no teeth and appeared to be blind.The officers ask if I kew who the dog belonged to, I didn't. The officers then ask me if I could keep the dog, because they would have to call animal control and did not want to. One officer explained because of the rules they had to follow they could not call the lost animal hot line but I could. This officer was also willing to make lost dog posters and put up in the neigborhood if he could do it in my name I agreed. I took the dog in the house my cavalier (see I did manage to make this cavalier related) sniffed her and decided to snuggle with a scared little blind dog Little Dog let out a big sigh and curled up on the couch with my Caitie With Little Dog settled in I got on the phone. Well the lost animal line was not being answered until 8 am the next morning. One of our local stations has a new tip line so I called it, and talked with the "Ole Mike" that did the news on the local station at night. I started out with saying have I got a story for you. With everything you hear about what the police do wrong I want to tell you about the two that are in my neighborhood and told him the story of Little Dog and the two great police officers that found her. This story was broadcast all night long every hour. At & am the next morning my phone was ringing. It was the Captan from the area precinct. Who said do you have a little lost dog at your house. I said yes I do and he told me the owners where there looking for her. Turns out little dog belong to the woman's elderly mother and she had got out of the yard and had been lost for 3 days. The elderly woman lived almost a mile from me So mircles do happen.
