They say things happen for a reason..... well today on the way to giving a talk at Auckland SPCA (not Royal over here!) as I was driving along fellow Dog Listener Sue spotted a dog wandering in and out of the heavy traffic at a major intersection.

"We can't just leave it there" was quickly followed by a U-turn. Like the man of action I am (the previous night saw me crowd surfing at an Iron Maiden concert - ROCK!) I jumped out of the car as Sue found somewhere to park. Luckily the dog hadn't gone too far and was heading in my direction and as I knelt down and called it to me it came bounding up and virtually leapt into my arms.
