Blue

Yesterday I spent the day babysitting a lost blue pit bull. We have security cameras in our front yard so I always see what is going on in front of our house. I saw that my dad was pulling a dog out of his front seat so I went outside to help him. When I saw that it was a pit I was kind of nervous but I quickly found out it was still young and very sweet. He didn’t have any tags so I decided to stay in the front yard with him until his owner came looking for him. My dad told me that someone was trying to take him before he jumped into his car but my dad could tell he wasn’t the owner because of the way the dog reacted to him.
This dog had so much energy. He kept jumping on me and biting my hands. Not any serious bites but kind of like teething bites. I gave him a plastic container filled with water and instead of drinking the water he tore the container apart. 5 hours and one chewed but chair later a teenage boy came driving by in his car with his dad. Once he saw the dog he slammed on the breaks and was overjoyed to find him. He told me that he had gotten home late and must not have closed the gate properly so Blue (the dog’s name) got out. He thanked us several times for taking care of his dog and promised to get him some tags.
It’s funny how timing works out. If my dad wasn’t outside, the dog would probably have been taken by someone and the owner would never know what happened to him.
