A very special ID tag!

I’ve found several dogs roaming the streets over the years, and fortunately was able to find their owners quickly. There’s always the possibility that a lost dog might be a stray or abused, so it’s important to stop and help. That’s what Tyler Wilson did but what he saw on the dog’s tag surprised him. Earlier this month, Tyler Wilson had an encounter he won’t soon forget. After stopping to refuel at a gas station near his home in Kentucky, Wilson was approached by an unaccompanied yellow lab. Naturally, it raised concerns that the dog might be in need of help — especially since Wilson had spotted him on his own before.

“I’ve seen the dog a couple weeks before around that area,” say Wilson. “So when he came up to me at the gas station and sat next to me, I was like, ‘This dog has been lost for a while.’” Fortunately, the seemingly stray pup was wearing a collar. The first thing Wilson did next was check for an ID tag for an address or telephone number. What he found there came as a pleasant surprise. Instead of listing contact information of the dog’s owner, the tag had a different and an original message which you can see on the video.“Once I saw it, we both looked at each other and I knew he was OK,” says Wilson. “It was so cute.”

A very special message!

Now that he knew the truth about Dew, the Labrador, before leaving, he set about making a proper introduction to the friendly dog who, it seems, had initially approached him for that purpose. “I pet him and even hugged him,” Wilson says. “He got me a little wet from the rain, but it was worth it.” It soon came to light that Dew is a local celebrity who loves to explore the nearby streets, known for strolling around town greeting new people. Watch the video to know in detail this beautiful story and that does not lack originality!
