I am an awful, terrible person.
Traffic had slowed to a near halt.
I immediately swerved towards the middle to try and find out what the hold up was and saw a terrified
corgi cowering in front of a garbage truck before darting confusedly across the lanes, visibly starting at every honk.
It had neither a collar nor a frantic owner chasing after it.
Clearly it needed help.
I drove right past it...which should surprise anyone who has known me longer than a year because you've most likely seen my animal saving antics in action or have heard about them.
Like the time I was at Valpo and saw a pitbull run across the road.
I literally flipped a U, parked
on the
sidewalk, left the Jeep running and the door open, and ran after the sucker.
Lord knows what I would have done with it had I actually caught it.
Or the time I was driving home from Wisconsin and a black lab darted onto the road.
I swerved to miss it, skid to a stop, (again leaving the car running with the door open) and ran after it.
Unfortunately, when you do such things when a cop who didn't see the dog is behind you, he thinks that something is wrong with a) you and/or b) your vehicle.
In all my "rescue missions," never once have I hesitated or driven right past an animal that was in any imminent danger, whether it be a turtle, cat, snake (yes, snake), muskrat (ugly tails btw), or dog.
But then again, never once have I questioned the legitimacy of the species.
Seriously.
You call
that a dog?
