Is that you Sebastian?

Yesterday afternoon when Jason took Barty out, there was a random black dog sitting in our fenced-in yard. Poor thing was shivering and so afraid. This little dog was wearing a cardboard tag that Jason was able to get a look at. However, it didn't provide any information not even his name.

As we called shelters and put out an email on our neighborhood listserve, Rowan declared "Maybe it's Bastian." Bastian being Sebastian who is Uncle Scott's dog. The dog was black, had white on his chest, and a bushy tail like Sebastian but he was much smaller than him. I said to Rowan, "Good observations about how he resembles Bastian, but Bastian lives in Pittsburgh and how would he get here?" To which Rowan replied "maybe he walked here." Of course...walking!

The little dog was finally warming up to Jason after he gave him a blanket, some treats, and water. Because he didn't have a name, Rowan started calling him 'Baby Bastian' which was really cute. After no one claimed baby Bastian, the animal shelter came and picked him up last night. They will keep him there until someone claims him or if he goes unclaimed, he'll go up for adoption. He seemed like a sweet dog and will have no trouble finding a good home....right in time for the holidays!
