This Morning

I was a little late getting to work this morning.

Right in the middle of the intersection of E. 24th and Pecan Streets, I saw a dog lying in the road. At first, I thought it was dead, but then it lifted it head.

Both I and a man who looked incredibly like opera singer Paul Potts, got out of our cars and went to help. Another man came out of the house on the corner carrying a blanket. Both men went out into the street to the dog, but they were afraid to move it because they didn't know if the dog would bite them or not. It looked like the dog probably had a broken hip. He seemed harmless to me, like he was glad someone was there to help, but of course, you never know. Of course, most of those driving by didn't even have the courtesy to slow down.

The men assured me animal control was on its way, and I got back in and turned around to drive up to the next block. Then I had to pull myself together before I went in to get coffee. I was happy to know though, that those two men were there to help the dog.

So, Little Beagle Dog, I hope you'll be okay, knowing that there were some really good humans around this morning.
