A resident of Dixon’s Creek recently had an unexpected canine adventure become part of her day.
Kristyn Preen was out getting hay for her cattle on Wednesday 19 July and said on the drive home, she turned down a street and saw three dogs out loose on the road.
The trio came right up to her car and Ms Preen stopped to investigate further.
“I stopped and waited and no one came coming, so I thought they probably belonged somewhere close,” she said
Ms Preen said she knocked on a few doors to see if she could locate the owners, but got no answers.
“I didn’t want to leave them getting up to mischief and I had a spare lead in my car, so one by one bundled them up,” she said
Some of the dogs took a little more convincing and Ms Preen even played a game of fetch with one of them for a while to convince them to get off the road and into her car.
The good Samaritan took them to Healesville vet to get them scanned for their microchips and they were reunited with their owner shortly after.
“There’s not usually a lot of dogs that need ‘rescuing’ but I have dogs myself and if mine got out I would hope that someone would do the same,” she said
The cheeky trio were having a field day sniffing and galloping around before their rescue and Ms Preen was happy that she got them safely back to their family.
