A tail of black and white in Oak Park

Yesterday I was returning home from a lovely bike ride along Lake Michigan when, a few blocks from home, and dinner, I spotted about a block ahead of me a teenage girl and a guy running after a little black and white dog. When I reached the intersection, the dog was in the middle of the street, panting, tongue hanging out–and doing his best to keep its two pursuers off his tail. I raced ahead to get in front of the dog, but the wily pooch eluded me too. A tall, lanky guy on a skateboard joined in the pursuit. The dog kept us at bay for blocks. It started to rain.
The skateboarder called 911. The dog ran on, and so did we. In the rain. North, then west, then south we went. I called 911. “It’s headed south on Euclid,” I told the dispatcher. A couple in a red Jeep drove up and tried to coax the doggie over. Suddenly, it stopped and we had the doggie cornered. So we thought. Wasn’t happening. The tired, wet dog slipped away. Again.

Watch the video to see how it all ends.

    That little guy was moving pretty fast. He was probably pretty slippery too from the rain! Nice video footage. Very dramatic. :)

    Cassandra, this is too funny. A little movie. Even the dog catchers couldn’t catch this pup who ave them a chance to collar him and they couldn’t do it.

    Love the sound effects at the end. Case closed.

    I saw that dog walking down the sidewalk on Madison on Sunday and was trying to get to him myself but I couldn’t get across the street in time! Glad someone got him.

    Amazing how much energy and time go into catching a little dog. Cassandra, I thought the video would end up with you taking the dog home and adopting it! It could happen. He looks like he’d be happy in your house. What do you think?
