Meet Monty - A shaggy dog story

I had parked in a 30 min bay as I was only going to the pharmacy to collect a prescription. I was a little longer as I helped a disabled lady exit the pharmacy. I had time so popped into a shop to buy bananas.
A chap entered and asked the assistant to look after his dog but she refused as she could not leave the shop and dogs were not allowed in.
I came to the rescue and offered to look after the dog. The chap was grateful and worried that his dog might be stolen if left unattended.
So I exited with the stranger and introduced to Monty. The chap now known as Luke returned minutes later with 4 cans of cider. I commented how quick he was and joked to whether he had stolen the cider. He laughed and said yes!!
Luke & Monty were reunited and off to catch their bus and I returned to my car with minutes to spare. How strange life can sometimes be.
Well, what if Luke has just stolen Monty? I mean: look at Monty sitting with a stranger. I guess a cat could steal him 😀

I love those dogs that are tied outside a shop and they stare so intently in the shop that they don't have eyes and ears for anything else in the world.

That was kind.

@monikozi so funny. I had not considered that.

@wakelys Don't mind me... I guess I read/watched too much crime and investigation stuff of questionable quality. 😁😁😁

A good deed for the day! Or, were you aiding & abetting a cider thief?
October 22nd, 2021  
Nice dog. Nice story. Worth a Fav!
October 22nd, 2021  
Aww! A lovely capture too!

@carole_sandford I guess I will never know unless I spot him on crimewatch.

Great story, fantastic POV shot. Let me know if anything shows up on Crimewatch. And we could have a whip-round if you need bail money for aiding and abetting... ;-)

Fab tale and lovely shot.

I love it when bizarre things happen that you could never have anticipated when you woke up. Great shot!

Great story!

How lovely that you came to the rescue even if it was for a cider thief. I always feel sorry for dogs left outside shops they always look sad. So glad you kept him company.

You will get feathers in your wings for the good deed you did. Well that's what my Mum used to say. That is why I am called Onewing. I do good deeds and gain feathers and then lose them again if I say or do something unkind. ha ha. At least with one wing I can fly around in circles when I get to heaven.

What a sweet story - how fortunate that you were there to assist.
October 22nd, 2021  
Two good deeds in rapid succession (helping the person to exit the pharmacy and dog watching)! Bravo.

Great narrative!

Great photo opportunity to capture this very well-behaving dog. Your narrative is really interesting.

cute

A fun story. Nice candid of Monty. You mean people don't take dogs into the stores where you live? Seems to be happening here more and more.

@randystreat they are only allowed if they are assistance dogs.

I favoured this picture, but my comment has disappeared.
I know I said something about you being so nice to look after the dog , etc etc/

Nice that you could help the people. It feels good to be able to do that kind of thing with all the restrictions from covid.
October 24th, 2021  
What a great story, and 2 great deeds you did to help out strangers
October 24th, 2021  
Wow, interesting encounter!
