Chicken Little - Thanks...I'm not religious either but thank you .

Chicken Little, I'm not even Christian much less very religious but thank you.

This is exactly what I love about cycling: you see things, you see people, interactions, smiles occur. This would have never happened without a cyclist When we walk, run, bike, hike ....

Not to hijack or steal any of your well deserved thunder but here's a local story of a dog rescued after being lost in the woods here over a month, would never have been found but for a hiker:

Pfunk, not only did you save that little dog's life, but you also gave the doggy's "mom," and hopefully many of the drivers, a reason to see cyclists in a positive light. You are indeed a Good Deed Doer!

I thought about how it looked to the motorists who witnessed it. How I probably looked like a fool - sprinting like crazy, motioning like crazy and then cutting in front of an SUV (who had stopped for me). But I'm hoping that when they saw why I was acting like a fool and they saw how happy the dog was when I grabbed his leash, they did think positively of us cyclists.

I wish this forum had a LIKE button.

I got tears in my eyes reading that.

You are awesome! What an amazing story and it had such a happy ending.

Good job! My sis and I once had traffic stopped both ways trying to catch a loose stray--and one vehicle was a cop! The good karma will come back to you--and hopefully the dog owner will also pay it forward.
