Animal Control on Speed Dial

One of the best things about my Samsung A900 that I complain about a lot is that I can send my address book from my desktop to it over Bluetooth. This has allowed me to put all the names and numbers that I’ve collected into my phone even if I rarely use them (I did exclude some). Several years ago I saw a dog walking around the street (busy street with 2 lanes in each direction), so I called my wife and had her give me the number to animal control; ever since then I’ve had the number in my address book (at the time I was able to sync my phone with my desktop). Yesterday as we were walking our dog, we see a dog wandering around on a street where we had just seen someone zooming by at easily 55 MPH (residential street with a speed limit of 35 MPH). The dog looked like it had a collar on, so I tried to approach it, but it growled at me, so I backed off.

I pulled out my phone, found the emergency number for animal control (outside of business hours) and reported it. Unfortunately animal control never made it (I got a call later). I hope that the dog made it home safely. Loose dogs always scare me as the chances of them being hit by a car are quite high.

  1. Maybe someday I will find meaning like this for my post office entry in my contacts. When I see that piece of mail laying on the ground next to the mailbox, I will be a hero!
