There was a Saturday at the clinic that somebody brought in a stray female - not spayed, not in the best shape, no chip, no collar, no tags. I searched the database and called everybody in the area with a husky that fit the physical description (except for the physical condition). No luck. We were going to get her to Animal Control at the end of the day.
However, everybody I called (Hi, this is your clinic, do you know where Sophie is? That wasn't uncomfortable at all. Right.) called somebody else. Several somebody elses. They all called us. And then they called more people. Within a few hours, our phone lines were essentially shut down with husky inquiries from around a large metropolitan area - Has the owner been found? Have you tried (miscellaneous)? Under no circumstances give her to Animal Control, we'll take her for the weekend. Is there any update? Call us before you close. We'll come right over. And so on, and so forth...
The owner was found. (I kind of wish they hadn't been.) The dog was home before we closed.
If there's anything to transmigration, you probably couldn't do better than to come back as a husky.
