Cici, a black and white border collie mix was frantically running along Jackson, Missouri's busy Jackson Boulevard dragging her leash behind, when she was spotted by caring driver, Jefferson Fox. Fox was headed to Cape Girardeau at the time and told KFVS Heartland News, "I thought [she] was going to get hit, so I turned in at Shawnee and parked my car, ran down this embankment and found the dog at the next couple of houses."
The perceptive driver chased after the dog in hopes of assuring her safety but when she kept evading capture and led Fox to a house he made a realization. “The dog was very purposeful in its efforts to get me to come back to the house and I’m sure that it was out in the road trying to find someone,” said Fox.
Eventually Cici’s mission became clear to Fox who said, "We came down the side of the building and turned this corner. The garage door was standing open and she was laying in the floor, in front of her front door. She was bleeding from her chin and her knees." Cici’s elderly owner, a woman in her 70’s, was injured and shaking from the cold on her garage floor.
Fox arrived around 9:30 a.m. and was informed by the elderly woman that she had fallen around 5:30 a.m. Curled up to her owner and keeping her warm was Honey, another dog with a similar red leash to Cici’s.

Our Chablis would do that and also walk the other dog we had too.
I suspect that had the symbiosis between man and dog never developed, world history would have developed substantially different than it has, and most likely, it would have been worse for the humans, and better for the dogs :-)
I agree. Dogs have been such good friends to me. Sadly, where I live, I can’t get the kind of dog I want. But OH! How I miss the interaction!
Dog walking the dog. I like that.
When I was over in Belgium, I happened to see a small boxer carrying his owner’s purse in the shopping district of Antwerp. I don’t think she had to worry about purse snatchers.
I had my camera with me. It made for a great little video.
And in Brussels there was a dog moocher. He wore glasses and a costume and carried a small bag for collecting people’s donations of coins and Euros. I looked but could not see or figure out who he belonged to.
Even the dogs in Europe are on the dole.
Sweet story. So wonderful.
Technically, it said BC mix and we don’t know what the other was.
Likely the dogs circled and she tripped on the leashes.
