tupper lake rescues a dog

I was shopping in Tupper Lake and looked out the store window to observe an old pickup truck pumping his brakes as he shimmied to a stop. I said " must be an accident out front". My husband is never one to miss a small town event, and he wandered out the door. A white dog is the cause of the brakes. The pit bull dog female is lost. My husband grabs the dog and brings it to the store. The two store keepers are thrilled to help rescue the dog. They do not want it to to be hurt in the street and they want to return it to the rightful owners. One of them says "Let's call the Tupper Lake Dog Pound Rescue". Myself and the second storekeeper say "No -- they only keep the dogs 5 days and then put them to sleep!".

So, the dog is leashed by these two friendly storekeepers. They will wait until the residents on the street come home from work (5 pm or so) and then canvass the neighbors for the owners. If no result, they will call the Saranac Lake Dog Shelter (ASPCA) for help.

So, Tupper Lake, your dogs will be rescued because the people of Tupper Lake will take care of it themselves -- as they always have.
