There's a lot of knocks on social media, and most are deserved, but there's also good...
And when it's good, it's really good.
Our little community has several lost pets sites on Facebook. I'm sure other communities do the same thing. It's good for people to connect to help lost animals. Last night I was doing a little surfing when I noticed the first picture.
Poor little guy.
From the post, it's not the first time this fella has busted out. That must be terrifying. We have a dog, but he's never allowed off a leash, unless he's in the fenced backyard. Of course, it's possible he could escape--dogs are smart, after all. So far, we've never had to utilize the "Lost Pets" site.
Maybe it was just the algorithm, but immediately under the first picture, someone posted the second picture...you guessed it, the same dog. In the comments under both pictures were links to the other post. Like me, others saw what I saw...a lost puppy post, and a found puppy post and thankfully, it was the same dog.
The people posting did not have to do what they did. They could have ignored the dog and just let it roam thinking someone else will take care of the problem, but they didn't.
Sometimes, when you see all the bad on social media, you might think that's all there is. Seeing some good renews my faith in humanity...
And canines.
