It happened after my daily midnight running sessions. I was heading to my lift lobby when I noticed a dog coming towards me. He looked identical to Sunny except he was slightly bigger. And neatly cropped. So I took some time to entertain it for awhile. Played with it and all. Then I realized it was 1am in the night with no one else around me. I was stranded with a lost dog.
He followed me up to my house. And seemed to entrust me with my presence. Therefore I brought him to every single unit in the whole block. Hoping that his sense of smell would alert me of his original home. But alas he sniffed his way through every single door. Only seemingly determined to follow me wherever I walked.
I had no choice but to give him a bowl of water. And leave him below the block where I found him. Hopefully his owner will realize first thing tomorrow morning that his dog is missing. And that the dog is still around for him to retrieve.
It was a heartbreaking moment to see the dog lost. And to make it worse he totally reminded me of my own loss. Of Sunny.
Sigh.

You didn't take him home?
Oh dear.
Hope the dog is all right...
No I did not. I wanted too though, but decided not to as no one is at home in my place anyway. So I could not look after him. And the next morning when I went down to see if he is still around he is gone. So I would like to assume the owner has found him. (fingers crossed)
