A Tail That Didn't Wag

Early one very cold morning, a knock at the door revealed a couple who were enroute to Canada. The lady was holding a small, quivering, bleeding puppy they found on the Waukon Road who needed medical attention. Seeing a coyote in the area, the couple decided to find help, for which my family was only too happy to do. After the fluffy puppy, later identified as Scotia, was wrapped in warm blankets and given a drink, its shivering stopped. His photo was promptly put on the Lincoln County Washington Lost & Found Pet Network Facebook page. Within minutes the puppy’s owner was found and reunited with its owner who immediately took it to the vet. The puppy fared well at the vet with only a lost baby K-9 tooth and a bit of a fever. It was put on antibiotics and sent home with its family for some much-needed rest.
