Hopefully next time I'll do better

Walking to my car today with a co-intern, I saw a stray dog on the opposite side of the road. My initial reaction was to put the pooch in my car. But, I couldn't figure out what I would do after that. Bringing her (I think it was a she because she was squatting female style to do her business)home to my tiny apartment seemed like a bad idea. And, since I don't have a crate in my car, I was a little worried about dragging in fleas. But, this all seemed like bad justification for not doing anything. Co-intern called Animal Control to let them know and they said they'd send a patrol, but when I drove back by I didn't see her again. Even if animal control picked her up, who knows what would happen. She'd be in the pound and potentially put down. I really feel like I should have picked her up myself and tried to get her to a rescue organization. So, Ms. 7th street, I'm sorry.
