So, I put Pippit's new harness on him(it is a tad big, but okay) So, we head out the front door of my apartment building, stop at the sidewalk, look both ways and begin to cross the street. Pippit's gotta go!! So, he pulls and the next thing I know I'm standing in the middle of the street with the leash and harness and no Pippit!
In slow motion.......I see a car turning onto my street. I run to my car yelling, "Come on. Let's go!" and open the door. And Pippit jumps right in.:banana: :cheer2: What a relief!!!
I should say that I live on quite a busy street! When I came inside with him, I looked at the harness and can't figure out how the clasp came unclasped and the velcro undone.....:confused: I just got the harness at the picnic.
He's never come out of his harness before(either the clasp or the velcro)

OMG I would have had a heart attack! I'm glad Pippit loves your car and came running when you called. Good boy Pippit!
Is that a Hug-a-Dox? I've wondered about the velcro closures but no one else seems to have a problem. Perhaps it wasn't closed tight enough. I have a regular harness so I don't really know how the others work.
They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon

Oh my!! Thank DOG Pippit likes the car!! Not sure what to tell you bout your harness, K2, but Buddy already CHEWED the clasp on his (It still works but I will need to replace it). Maybe its because it was a tad big?? I don't have any suggestions! SorrY!
Becca and always in my heart

Good thinking with the car. That is every Doxie Mom's worst nightmare.
