Cherry is lost!

Dawg Gone IT! Cherry is LOST!
One of the biggest fears that any dog owner can have is to discover that your dog or puppy has run off. We have been house breaking Cherry now for the past couple of weeks and she has responded greatly! We are such proud parents! :) This incident happened last week, I let the dogs, Chewy and Cherry out to do there doggy business, they have been very good at staying in the yard.
	I swear that they had been outside for 5 minutes before I popped out and whistled. Chewy (who is almost 2 years old) came right away. I figured since Cherry (7 Months) was still kind of puppy and requires some extra coaching to get her to come right away, I would have to do a bit more whistling. I whistled for5 minuets, after the whistling changed to calling and after a few more minuets the calling had changed to a very loud shout!
I started to panic, I went into the house and told the wife. She suggested that I take Chewy and comb the surrounding blocks while she stayed out in front of the house. Chewy and I proceeded down the street and around the corner, crying out at the top of my lungs, "CHERRY, CHERRY! COME ON CHERRY!!!" Not a hide nor hair could be found, I was very upset to think I was never going to see this little puppy again.
	As we rounded the corner heading for home, my heart hurt as the only thing we had found was Chewys lost Frisbee. Suddenly off in the distance I could hear a bellowing of a familiar voice, it was the misses. Maybe she found her, I thought to myself as I quickened my pace towards home. Chewy and I spotted the wife standing on the side of the house laughing. I was a bit angry that she could stand and laugh after I raised my blood pressure to almost dangerous levels.
I stopped right next to her with a glaze in my eyes and snarled, " what's so funny?". She pointed into the neighbors yard. Let me take a moment to tell you about my neighbor, he is a nice guy but hates the male cats in the neighborhood that spray his porch when his house cat goes into heat. So he sets up a trap to chat them. So he can call the animal shelter. So I walk into his yard and look into the trap.... guess what I saw? (click on the photos below)

Thou shall not eat the bait in the trap!

Evidently Cherry smelled the open can of cat food that he uses to bait the cats into the trap. So once she entered, that was it for her. She is a very quiet dog, I think I have only heard her bark twice. So she was there under my noise the whole time. Quiet and shivering but safe and sound! If you have any amazing pet stories, please pass them along to use and if we find them worthy, we will post them here on ChewyDog.Com . Thank you for taking your time to read my story. I hope that you find it inspirational.
