A dog for the day

In June we got to experience temporary dog ownership.  My mom called early in the morning saying she had picked up a loose dog in the middle of a busy street on her way to work and needed a place for him to stay for the day.  Of course my first thoughts were something along the lines of "I don't have time to take care of one more needy living thing today" however that all changed when we met the sweet furry animal.  After contacting several shelters to make them aware of the fact we had the dog in the event someone called looking for him we secretly hoped nobody would come searching.  By 5:00 we received a call that his owners were desperately trying to find him.  Happy ending for them, sad Amy for us.
