It's ultimate desperation because the pups don't get the danger they're in. I got so lucky.

I sounded just like that guy.

couldn't catch him until he got tired-usually just tried to wear him down in my car AND or wait for him to stop for the first pretty girl he could find-he was a shameless Casanova

that Dog in the video is incredibly fast for a small dog

A nurse at a vet's office was crying because her favorite person, who loved dogs, tried to rescue a dog from highway traffic and was killed for her act of mercy. Sometimes good intentions are too good.

Very sad, indeed!

That dog is so lucky to have such a caring - and physically fit! - owner.

Scariest experiences ever!!!!! Afterwards you don't know whether to get angry or cry with relief. Each chase took a few years off of my life.
