An anxious scene at rush hour

A beautiful collie blissfully trotted into morning rush-hour traffic at the intersection of Cne Boulevard and North Elm Street.

The dog crossed Elm Street, then four lanes of Cone before weaving back into the road on the westbound lane of Cone. Fortunately, drivers saw him/her and slowed to avoid hitting the dog.

Meanwhile, back on North Elm, a man had pulled his SUV to the road, turned on his flashers and pursued the dog. He could have been the dog's owner; he could have been a good Samaritan.

Either way he went after the dog on foot. I hope he caught up.

That man, if he were a woman, would have been my wife. If I had a nickel for every mangy mutt we've tried to track down in this scenario, I could retire. She even stops for turtles.

Meanwhile, she encourages me to play near busy intersections.

Yesterday, in Harris Teeter parking lot I saw a young puppy huddled under a tree and I thought to myself, I wonder whose puppy this is? And it reminded me of a poem.

I think that I shall never see.
A thing as lovely as a tree,
And even though it meant no harm to thee
The little puppy had to go pee, pee.

Have a blessed day everyone.
