Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: How I Lost My Dog - A Charming Story

It may be hard to believe but the best day of my
life started out as the very worst possible day
imaginable. I had just moved into a brand new
house in a city where I didn't know anyone, but I
had my beloved pooch Princess with me to keep me
company.

Princess is a large dog, part Border Collie and
part Labrador Retriever, and she is really
friendly and lovable and just makes me feel
terrific no matter how bad my day at work has
been. I honestly can't imagine what I would do
without her, especially on that day as I didn't
know anyone else in town.

I had arrived home from work but was in a hurry
to get to the gym and didn't spend much time with
Princess at all. I basically fed her and put her
in the fenced back yard while I headed out to do
my workout and get rid of the stress of the day.

When I arrived home I pulled into the garage and
walked over to the gate of the fence. I was a bit
surprised because I didn't hear Princess giving
her usual welcoming bark, but I thought may be
she was asleep and I would just surprise her.

Imagine my shock when I looking in the back yard
and she wasn't there. I was immediately frantic
and panicked, running around calling her name up
and down the street. My neighbors, who I had yet
to meet, immediately came running out to see what
was wrong. They were so nice they started calling
around, everyone out looking for Princess and
phoning vets, animal hospitals and the local
pound.

Finally, after several hours of calling, driving
and walking we called the hunt for Princess off.
I invited everyone to come back to my house for
coffee and a snack since they had looked so hard
for the dog. To my surprise, the minute I opened
the door to the house Princess came jumping out,
happy to see me and upset about being locked in
the house all day. I guess I didn't really let
her out in the backyard after all!

My neighbors were very gracious and everyone was
just happy the dog was safe and sound. The next
day my next door neighbor came back over with a
welcome to the neighborhood gift. It was a
beautiful charm bracelet with charms of kids,
people, dogs and dog toys, plus charms of the
major attractions in my new city.

She said it was to help me remember my scary yet
happy first day in the neighborhood, the day I
didn't really lose my dog! Now, years later, I
still look back fondly on my charms and bracelet
and remember how I got to know all my neighbors
in one very stressful day.
