This was that crazy morning I found the dog. I'm out early by myself on the waverunner in Tarpon Basin headed for Blackwater Sound. I changed my mind and turned around to head toward Buttonwood. I noticed a spec that wasn't normally there but couldn't tell what it was. When I went to take a closer look I found this dog all alone in this pitiful little boat. There was one oar in the boat and one floating close by. Of course I thought the worst and figured there was a body down there somewhere under water. The first thing I needed to do was get the dog to land. I tied the little boat to the wave runner and started toward our house. The dog was up on the bench so I went very slow so I wouldn't scare him too much. Then he stood up and of all things he only had 3 legs. What are the odds of finding a 3 legged dog floating alone in a boat in the bay!?! |
