Has this ever happened to you?

A dog that doesn't belong to you keeps following you down the street like it does belong to you. It doesn't go away when you say to it GO HOME. I say go home because that is where it belongs. What if the dog does not know the way home, what then?

Yes. Go Home. 10
No. Never happened to this one. 16
I don't see stray dogs anywhere. 19
I take them home. 24
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    The problem is probably that dogs don't speak English.

    Aww, yeah, I've been followed by dogs and cats. A dog even followed me into school once, right into the class.

    P.S. I love the picture. I wonder how the photographer got it without the cat being obviously aware of the camera.

        Aww, you should do that more often. I'm so touched that I feel like recreating the incident just so you can sing that to me. :D

            Aww, well I was still very touched. Nobody has ever commandeered a nursery rhyme for me before (although there is a nursery rhyme with my real first name in it, but we don't like to talk about it because it calls me mentally challenged). :/

  • That's how I came upon my pitbull, Angel. She followed me around the neighborhood one winter when I was jogging and didn't relent.

    Only later did I find out that her original owners had left her to die since she had parvovirus.

    Come to think of it, that's how I found my 3rd dog, Patches! Same story. I was jogging and lo and behold a puppy was traversing the streets. Later on she too caught parvo. I'm still not entirely sure where she got it from.

    • lovely story, did you have to nurse them back with the parvo or was a vet involved?

      • It was both. Angel's parvo was disastrous. At the worst of it, she stayed with the vet and about 4 days later she came home and I gave her an IV bag of medication every 6 hours.

        Patches' case wasn't as devastating as Angel's was. The worst of it was weight loss.

        Today they're both very healthy and active pitbulls.

        Housebreaking Patches was a true test of my patience though. For about a solid month my carpet had new gifts sprinkled upon them every day.

        :'(!

          • Yes, that one is the 3rd. Something tells me it won't have to go through that.

            On the other comment did you mean my horns or his FBI hat?

    I live in the middle of nowhere and I go running on some trails near my house almost everyday, this pack of 3 dogs come join me for my run, I know they probably belong to the farm nearby and it's there routine to come explore the trails so I let them come along. After a while they fall behind me and eventually go home. But it's nice to have the extra company :)

    This happened to my Mom. We kept the dog and we ended up having her for 8 years. My Mom doesn't like animals but she fucking loved that dog. The last owner obviously abused her and she had run away. My Mom found "Lost Dog" signs for our dog a few weeks later but she didn't tell my Dad until years after we brought the dog to America.

    I have never been followed. It would suck because dogs are not allowed in my apartment and I don't like most dogs anyway. They are loud and smelly and need constant attention. I could take a cat but most cats are fucking unfriendly too. I will stick with my sweet, cuddly, QUIET rabbits.

    Yeah all the time at the farm I used to work on. One of the dogs would just bike home with me all the time. Annoying little bastard

    Yes because a dog is gonna understand what you mean when you tell it to "go home".

    "I'm sorry your right, I should go home. I'll be on my way now thanks!"

    It's happened to family members but not to me. But I love doggies so much (especially since mine ran away) I would want to keep it. I wouldn't, though, because I know that there would be someone out there missing him, and just like I wish the people who took my dog would've returned him back to me, I would be a good person and give someone else their dog back. A missing dog is a missing part of your life :(

    There once was this cat, who impersonated my cat. He was being chased by my did in the back yard. I scooped him up and lay him down beside me on the couch, thinking he looked rather pale, but i assumed it was because he was afraid. He cuddled with me all night, pouring loudly. The next morning, my real cat comes in, looking all pissed. I realized I had been fooled and threw him out immediately! But he returned daily, until I accepted him as my own. He turned it to be a great cat. He'd even walk me to the end of my street and wait for me there to return from the store. True story.

    He disappeared soon after we moved. I miss him :(

    This is how I got one of my dogs. I was about 6 and I found a sweet dog at the busstop. I assumed it lived in the area but she wouldn't go home or leave my side. So she came home with me and wouldn't leave out house. We decided to keep her because she was obviously mistreated by some man. Whenever my dad raised his voice she would start shaking and pee all over herself, and sometimes my dad. Even if my dad made a large gesture with his arms she would get really freaked out.

    For the first month we had her she use to chase the car about a mile down the road when we left. But she was always waiting for us on the porch when we returned. She was a great dog and had one issue we didn't like. She had a habit of stealing all the chicken eggs. We just figured she wasn't use to regular feedings and she would eventually grow out of it. Well, she grew out of it. One morning we discovered she had given birth to seven little puppies under the porch. It was also the morning of April Fools day.
