Maggie

A sweet, lost dog named Maggie showed up at the farm last week.  She was wearing Detroit tags with an expired phone number, and was wet and exhausted.  I gave her some food, and she was fine with Max and Cozy, but I wasn't sure what to do next.

I called the Traverse City Humane Society, who couldn't have been less helpful.  They somewhat said I was on my own, so my plan was to do my best to find her owners myself, and as a last resort take her to a shelter where her owners may have been looking for her.

I drove her around and talked to some neighbors, and after an hour or so I actually tracked down where she belonged.  She was visiting from the Detroit area and staying with a family about 2 miles from my farm.  The owners said she had chased a deer and didn't know her way back, and they were frantic trying to find her.  One of them was driving around on a 4-wheeler looking for her, which is how I found them.  A very happy ending.
