I love how you’re referring to it as “flirting”! What a lovely trait for a dog to have. During the first few years of having Roxie (she’s 10 now), I would freak out when she’d leave and yell and scream (in a worried way) and she would, of course, run further away. Then a few years ago, I decided to start making it a game with her. So I’d “play bow” (bend over, bend my knees, and hop) and talked excitedly to her. She doesn’t come back immediately when I do this, but she does come back more quickly than she did before.

I found a senior dog in my garage late one freezing December night. He had on an electronic collar so I knew he had a home and couldn’t get back. He spent the night at my house, warm and cozy, and we found his owner the next day.

That’s so cool that Honey helps you help lost dogs! Blueberry doesn’t give off that vibe though – I think other dogs know she isn’t down with sharing our house with them, even if it is just for a couple hours until the owners are found.

Glad you enjoyed our pix, albeit posted late. And glad that you forgot to be sad about Honey getting slightly older! But happier still that Honey had a wonderful birthday week!!

Has anyone ever went to the trouble to return a lost dog only to have the owners become aggravated that you bothered them because they believe their dog should routinely roam the neighborhood alone? I twice returned a chocolate lab to someone’s home thinking they would be thankful, but I guess that’s not always the case.

I still always help a lost dog find its way back home and would hope someone would do that for me if my dog ever got lost.

Well done Honey. We once used Mity to try and lure another dog back to safety.

It’s a good feeling to help a lost dog get home.

Great story. It is so true that chasing a lost dog is the worst thing you can do – that will provoke them to run away! One of my greatest fears is that my very shy dog will get lost, and she won’t have the courage to approach anyone for help. If people run toward her, there’s no doubt that she will flee! I hope that you’re around if that terrible event ever happens – you could bring her home.

Thanks for the shout out. I love that Honey saved another lost dog. It does not surprise me that she is such a dog magnet. She has the most wonderful personality. Such a honey of a Honey. 🙂

I hope she enjoyed the pork sandwich and cake. Happy Birthday Honey!

That’s so wonderful of Honey to be such a flirt lol. It really is such a nice enticement dog other dogs. We haven’t encountered any lost dogs yet, but when we see an ad for one in our area I’ll take Laika out hoping that if we track it and it spots her it’s interest will draw it near. I started doing that after realizing I’m no good at coaxing lost dogs to my human self, I’ve been waiting to see if Laika will be of a good little helper like Honey.
