Saving a (dog's) life?
By ThomasRMartinez in Easy writer
April 27, 2009

So, public service editor Gabe Semenza and I were out chasing the severe weather when we came across something unusual.

Or maybe not.

We were trying to get a video shot of the Guadalupe River off of Fox Road when it happened. Someone in a old Ford 150 truck threw a dog out the door and took off. This was in the middle of a torrential downpour.

The dog came running toward us and started howling. In between howls it would run circles around us, wagging its tail. We could tell by how it was behaving that it was a friendly dog. Neither one of us felt we could just leave it there in that bad weather by itself, abandoned. So we took it with us. We both have three dogs each so neither of us can afford to take on another dog. But we're going to tag-team ownership of the dog until we can find it a good home.

If you or someone you know wants a friendly as all being dog, e-mail us and let us know.

We'll hook you up.

Thanks,

Thomas Martinez

P.S. It's temporary name is watchdog.

    I would love to take the dog --- however I already have 5 and my neighbor will shoot me or have me committed if I take anymore.

    I wish I knew who dumped that poor sweet creature out in the middle of that storm! I'd do something unchristian!!!

    God knows who you are and what you did.

    People are so insensitive. There are animal shelters everywhere, and doesn't O'Conner have a living shelter in Victoria? Anyone can take a stray there. Such a cute pooch.

    Wow, how sad that people do such cruel things to animals! Thank goodness y'all were there & picked him up.

    I was in a similar situation a few years ago. Torrential rains, stopped at a convenience store on my way back to work from lunch, saw a cute dog waiting by the door & no one else was there. I asked the worker whos dog it was, she said someone flew threw the lot & threw the dog out. I took her home, turned out she was blind & had no teeth, though she sure could eat whatever she wanted! For several days I cooked her hamburger thinking she couldn't chew, but I caught her tearing into a bird my cat had caught, after that she got dry dog food. She was a wonderful dog, sweet & loyal til the day she passed away.

    Good luck finding a home. Ihope whoever takes him, gives him all the love & attention he needs. Good thing I don't live close by....
