Found Vernon on the Freeway

My partner was driving home from Glendora in California, when she saw this little bit of a rat? or dog? running up and down the freeway embankment during rush hour traffic. She got off the next offramp, circled back, and went on the freeway, pulling up alongside of the little white animal. She looked for traffic; there was a break in the action on the slow lane, so she pulled over to the edge of the freeway and threw open the door, calling to the white fur ball, saying "Come here little baby!" She knew she had just a minute for the break in trafffic, and either the dog would get in the car, or face demise on the freeway. The dog, a chihauhau, jumped in and sat next to her. SHe drove off with our new pet. He had a big head and a skinny little body of 6.5 lbs. We called him Vernon as she found him on Vernon off ramp. He gets a long well with our 2 mini wiennies and our adopted cat Kobe. He has made our family complete!

That's really sweet. Lucky Vernon to have found such a nice home. Sort of makes you wonder though how he got there doesn't it? The best thing though is that you and your partner have given this ball of fur a loving home along with all your other animals.

What a nice story. I am glad for a happy ending.

I have a little chihueyhuey named Ricky (aka Pootie) He is my little boy. That is such a great story... thanks for letting us in on it and thanks for saving Vernon!!! I know he loves you all the more for saving his little scrawny butt!!! You guys are 's

Not to be negative, because this is a nice story...but I hope you tried to find out if Vernon's owners were searching for him. As someone who lost a dog while we were visiting in another state, I know that not all dogs who are out on the highways are abandoned. We spent thousands of dollars searching for our dog and never found her. The vets and animal control people figured that someone found her and just kept her without bothering to check to see if someone was missing her. It is the heartbreak of our lives to never know what happened to her.
