My Dog... the hero

I have had a very interesting day today. I have had a super busy day with work and so I let Scout spend most of his morning outside playing in the gorgeous weather. I look outside to check on him real quick and realize he has invited a friend over because there are two dogs in my backyard. What the crap?? Here is stranger dog:

I call Scout in you know for an explanation and realize his feet are covered in dirt. What? I go outside and stranger dog makes a mad dash to the back corner of our fence where we have no neighbors-one of the things I love about our house! Then stranger dog tries to go out the hole she has obviously come from but I caught her before she made it. She is adorable, sweet and shaking from being scared and cold. Still confused as to why she is in my yard I go ahead and offer her food and pet her and then it dawns on me... a friend of mine on Facebook had put on her status a few days ago that her cousin had lost her dog in our neighborhood and this dog totally matches the description. I put a clay pot on top of the whole and walk around to the other side of the fence and realize stranger dog dug one side and Scout dug the other- Scout somehow knew she needed help so he just invited her over via the fence...

I made a few calls, sent pictures and Kourtnie and Ashley headed over to pick-up "Elsie" Scout's new bff. I am so glad that Elsie made it home safely. Scout cried at the back door once she left- he was obviously a fan of saving her life. I already knew Scout was the cutest, sweetest, smartest, craziest dog on the planet- apparently he also helps lost dogs find their way home. All in a day's work for Rescue Dog Scout. In the word's of my bestie Raven , "He's such a rescue dog, I mean couldn't you just see him in a fire fighter suit??" Honestly, I definately could! Haha I love you Scout!
