OMG!!!!!!!!! I so know how wonderful that feels. When I was 10, my mom and step-dad got me this BEAUTIFUL chow-border collie mixed dog for Christmas. Jeeze he was awesome and I couldn't have been happier. Well, that night while we were at Grandma's he got out and ran away. I was DEVASTATED beyond belief. My step-dad was so upset that he stayed out all night looking for that poor cold little dog. 3 days later my mom and I were going to the grocery store and just drove passed him meandering along the road. Needless to say that traffic came to an instant standstill. So I know how good it feels. Hug the hell out of that dog.
