A good deed

Bill, the postmaster at the Unionville Post Office, had a new assistant this afternoon: a stray dog awaiting his master!
A Unionville resident picking up her mail spotted a loose yellow Lab in the parking lot. Worried that he might run onto Route 82, she took hold of the friendly canine by the collar and phoned the Delaware number on his ID tag. The owner, who lives near the post office, answered and was understandably quite upset to hear the news. He said he was about 20 minutes away and would leave for the post office immediately.
My friend took the dog into the lobby, prepared to wait until the owner arrived, but Bill said the dog was welcome to stay behind the counter with him. Unionville had a deputy postmaster for a little while!

  1. Thanks to Bill and all who helped our Dog Tucker. His Wife Daisy was out with him on their adventure and was found in the house (Thru doggie door) Safe and sound. There four 8 week old puppy's were the most grateful for returning their parents. Now I get to fix their fence around our old farmhouse.
