I was driving home on Tuesday and out from the woods popped "Marygold". She came from nowhere and looked as if she had been there for a while. First I just looked, then backed up and looked at her again. She just stood there waiting. She was so sweet.
I asked her if she were lost, she looked up at me again. I asked her if she needed help, and she put her paw up. I then got out of the car and asked if I could look. She just sat there and gave me her paw. There were sand spurs (stickers) in her paw and I removed them one by one. She just looked so grateful and sweet. She looked as if she needed a friend and safe place to be. I then asked if she wanted to come with me. She sat a second, glanced back behind her and said yes. So, I put her in my car and drove her home. She needed a bath and also needed some advantix (sp?). Which I had both. I gave her a nice place on the porch to rest and offered her some food, which she didn't want. She just wanted to sleep in a safe place. She must have slept for 6 hours or more. She pressed her head up against the lattice work on the porch, when she awoke she had a lattice type impression in her hair. :( She obviously had been bred, most likely more than once. Can't tell her age, but will have the vet check if nobody looks for her.
My husband called the neighbors and one had seen her about week before about a mile down the street. She was in his back pasture, with the same sweet face. But he didn't offer to help her. Just noticed. I have been checking the lost and found ads anywhere and everywhere I can.
In our neighborhood we have a lot of dogs that just get dumped. Most of the neighbors have at least one of these dogs. :) Maybe it will be our turn to have Marygold live with us. She likes her new name by the way. My dogs like her too.

She looks so much happier and healthier after having a safe place to rest, bath, and a good meal. She did eat by the way. :) Not sure if she will want to say, or if someone will come for her, but either way... it is a pleasure having her around.
