Stray dog 'desperate to catch a ride' chases pup bus, gets adopted

[iscooterliberally]

I tried to post this as a gift link, so there should be no paywall. I hope!

Tyson Cash was making his usual morning rounds, collecting his canine clients on his pup bus to take them to doggy day care, when he noticed one of his regular dogs was accompanied by a pooch he had never seen before.

“I was like, ‘That’s strange, they didn’t tell me they were getting another dog,’” said Cash, who runs Keller Creek Boarding and Grooming in Franklin County, Ga., with his wife.

Motley, a Labrador retriever who has been going to day care at Keller Creek for more than three years, usually waits for the bus on his front porch. On this particular morning, July 16, there was another Lab with him.

Cash contacted Motley’s owners to ask them if they got a new dog, and they told him no, but there was a stray Lab that had been wandering the area for a few days. Residents were feeding him and sometimes letting him spend the night.

[Think. Again.]

1. Kids WANT to go to school when it's run correctly!

2. I wish I had felt that way when I was a kid.

I really really hated school. I would have much preferred hanging out with a bunch of dogs anyway.

3. Yep, me too, until I switched to a well-run school and LOVED IT.

5. That bus must be a real hoot when it's all packed full of pups!!!

6. If I could ride on a bus like that everyday, I would give up my driver's license in a heartbeat. n/t

7. Such a sweet story

I'm so glad he got adopted by the Motley's family. So nice to have a happy ending for this dog.

8. Waylon and Nellie are so sweet together!

What a great ending for both of them, and for Nellie's humans, who are now also Waylon's humans!

9. Nellie says hey you want to go to school with me today?

Waylon says sure, whatever.
