Shea Daniel-Youngblood's dog Blade is either lucky or unlucky, depending on how you look at it.
On Monday, someone broke into Shea's home. A few items were stolen, but worst of all, Blade was no where to be found.
At about the same time Shea discovered the burglary and missing dog, a woman driving along Loop 410 at Nacogdoches spotted a dog lying on the highway. Cars were darting around the dog. No one had stopped to help him. The woman took the next exit, came around, stopped her car and picked up the dog. She rushed him to the Animal Defense League. The little Rat Terrier was suffering from shock and had a bloody nose, but that appeared to be the only injury.
Meanwhile, Shea was desperate to find her dog. "I was so devastated," she said.
She said she didn't care about the few things missing from her house. "All I wanted to do was to find Blade, my little baby," Shea said.
Shea went to the city pound hoping she'd find Blade, but no such luck. Then, since she lives near the Animal Defense League, she drove to ADL. With a picture of Blade in her hand, she asked ADL staff if they had seen her dog. And miracle of miracles, Shea and Blade were reunited in the ADL Hospital lobby.
If Monday was a bad day for Shea and her husband, Tuesday turned out to be a great day for Blade and his humans. And if anyone ever asks, be sure to tell them even dogs have nine lives.

Things are easily replaced, but pets are special. Thanks to ADL executive director Ron Aaron for sending in this story.
