The Happy Ending

I received a call today at 7:30 from a gentleman just beyond my flier range, and he left a message saying that Holden had been in his basement for the last two days. He just saw one of my fliers.

We met halfway up on Mannasota, and the guy who took him in was an old man who owned a junk shop. He even had made me a new tag for Holden with my updated information on it.

We shook hands, and then Holden and I bounded home, with me tearing down fliers as I ran.

He's at my feet right now. Hasn't left my side yet.

Oh yay! Our dog busted out of the back fence a few years ago - I was just so heartsick with worry. I'm so glad Holden is home!

I got a tear too!! I'm SOOO happy for you! Take a long nap with Holden curled up on the bed with you. I doubt either one of you has slept much the last two days.

That's great! I must admit that I've been checking your blog a lot in the past few days hoping to see that you found him.

I'm so happy for you and Holden!

With all the vile stuff that goes on in the area, it's comforting to know there's still good people out there.

Congratulations! I'm so glad to know that Holden's alive and well. It's a scary feeling to lose a dog.

Huvah! Have you considered turning all of this into a movie or TV series script? Maybe Mr.Burns (HBO's The Corner), late of your department, would be willing to collaberate?
