Sputnik lands safely in downtown Baltimore
If you’re one of those hard-hearted types that don’t think dogs bring humans together, consider the case of Sputnik, who bolted while being loaded into his owner’s car Thursday night, was struck by a passing car and then ran off.
More than 50 humans came together in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood to assist in the search.
As you can see, Sputnik, a yellow Lab was found — located Friday in a parking area and reunited with his owner Kat Rafferty.
Sputnik was bruised and sore, but otherwise fine, and his owner — as seen in this photo from Facebook, where much of the search was documented — was clearly happy to have him back.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the people involved in bringing Sputty back safely. There were family, friends of Kat’s, friends of friends of friends and complete strangers helping. It truly renewed my faith that there are good people in this world. Thank you all.

Every now and then I’m completely blown away by the character of good people. This was an unbelievable effort that couldn’t have been amassed without the help of this owner’s co-workers and friends. Conversely, this is testament to how great of a friend this owner is. She would have done it for anyone else and everyone involved would do it again tomorrow if needbe.
Good story of the year 2009 : )
