Happy End for a Husky

Tonight in the park came across a husky. Handsome dog. Wonderful head and tail. But scared. I saw a couple in front of me and asked if husky is theirs. They said no but added they have not seen an owner of the husky around although they walk for a while in the park. I continued walking. Than a mum and a daughter I sometimes see walking approached me and asked if I saw a husky. They wanted to get him as he seemed homeless. We started to look together. And found him. He was scared of us. We were joined by golden retriever Vinnie whom husky immediately liked and played with. But every time we moved closer or raised a hand - husky would run from us. The mum and a daughter told they tried to catch him for two hours earlier that evening. Then they went home to bring some beacon. Husky loved beacon but still kept distance from us. It took us about an hour to get his trust. It seems he had some health problems and that previous owners threw him on the street. The collar was so tight it hurt him. Once we could get closer we had to loose it.  The daughter noticed one paw bleeds.  Mum and daughter were so happy when he started to trust them the daughter took him in her arms and carried him home. He looked comfortable in her arms. I was also happy the husky found home. With this snow and in such a cold his chances on his own were very slim. On the photo above - trying to get husky closer to us.
