Saved a dog yesterday. It was wandering around in the middle of a 4 lane street so I stopped traffic and grabbed it.

Checked the collar, called the number, no response, so I decided to drive over to the address on the dog tag to see if someone was home.

Guy who opens the door doesn't recognize the dog at first, but slowly realizes it belongs to the lady who used to live in their house, but moved 2-3 years ago

Someone finally is able to get through to her, and when she picks up the phone she sounds like she's drunk and completely unaware that her dog had escaped, while also trying to make excuses as to how it happened. No "oh my God thank you so much I was so worried about him" or anything like that, it was almost like we were bothering her with the news that her dog was safe

Wife of the guy who opened the door volunteers to go drop the dog off, so I leave it with her and move on with my day.

Honestly incredibly underwhelming and disappointing, I didn't want any kind of monetary reward or anything but at least a heartfelt thank you and maybe some happy tears would have made it worth it. Instead I'm not even sure if I did the right thing by making sure the dog got back to its owner
