I sat down exhausted on a bench in the park with Lucky’s leash in my hand. I’d been looking for my faithful companion for hours. I lost my dog on that unlucky afternoon. On our usual walk, I let Mázl go in the park, as I’d done so many times before. It never took more than a word to get him to come back to me. On that cloudy day, however, that purring cat appeared. Whenever this cat turned up, Lucky never listened, as he ran right after it.

I immediately started searching for him. I gave a description of Lucky: “A black labrador-type, shelter dog. A very friendly creature, wearing a red Julius-K9 Powerharness at the time of his disappearance. ”I could only hope that thanks to his favourite harness he wouldn’t be in danger from cars, as the reflectiveness of the equipment would make us visible in any environment.

I got up from the bench to continue my search when the phone suddenly rang! A friendly old voice said: “Good evening, do you happen to know a charming black dog?” It was Lucky!

Not far from the park was the friendly lady who was already waiting at the gate. Lucky launched at me like a rocket. The lovely lady told me that she’d stumbled into my dog during her evening walk. She started following him and noticed my phone number on the harness. She called him to her and called me as soon as she got home.

We happily headed home with Lucky, passing by the dog park on our way, where he was able to play with his friends for a bit. Putting my phone number on the harness was good decision indeed. Lucky got back to me safe and sound.
