I drove home yesterday morning and saw this tan scrappy dog sitting in the middle of the road. I got out and sat on the curb for a while and watched him for a few minutes before bringing him some water. When I sat down again he decided to sit near me. I called animal control and just waited out there with him. Finally he cuddled up next to me and let me pet him. His coat had tar all over it and he was lonely. He let me put a collar on him and leash him, and when it got cold we hopped in the car and waited for animal control to show up, but they never did. Every time he saw a young child, he would cry and cry, like he thought it was his family. :(
I took him to my moms house for the night. I just got home from dropping him off at the shelter. He slept in my lap the whole way there, but he cried and cried and cried as i left.

TLDR- I met the sweetest, most well tempered and tolerant dog in the world, and now my heart hurts. <:(
