Milwaukee Bus Driver Goes Beyond Her Duty To Reunite Two Dogs With Their Family Just In Time For The Holidays
It's the reunion we've all been waiting for!
Her name is Jamie Grabowski, and she is a bus driver for the Milwaukee County Transit System. Jamie, along with the help of other public servants in Milwaukee County, is the reason why the two dogs were reunited with their family.
It was about midnight at the end of her route when Jamie spotted two dogs by the side of the road. The pair were darting in and out of the street, seemingly unaware of the danger they were in.
She became concerned that the two dogs could be hit by oncoming traffic, so she hollered at them that it was time to go home. The pups seemed to understand what Jamie was saying.
They didn’t look like typical strays, and the temperature that night was about to drop below 20 degrees. Jamie asked them to come with her, and with a bit of guidance, she coaxed them to go inside the bus.
The pair explored around the bus while Jamie called the dispatchers. She explained the situation the dogs were in and how she had brought them onto her bus out of fear of them getting hit.
Jamie made the pups comfortable as they waited for a police officer to arrive. Once the police officer came, he transferred the duo from the bus to the police car for transport.
The officer would surrender the dogs to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission. The commission is responsible for taking in and caring for stray animals in Milwaukee County.
They discovered that the wandering pups had somehow escaped from their family’s yard, located 2.5 miles away from where Jamie encountered them. Their family had been searching for them all night!
Their owners extended their gratitude for Jamie, the police officers, the MADACC, and everyone involved in the return of their prodigal pups just in time for the holidays.

She also jokingly attributed her successful rescue to her talent for “dog whispering.”

Jamie is an avid animal lover and has dogs of her own.

She can be heard on video while playing with the escape artists, saying that her dogs will be very mad at her when she gets home since she will smell like the two of them.

It really was a group effort that wouldn't have happened if Jamie hadn't seen the dogs and helped them.
Oh Dear
Apparently, the people of Milwaukee County can sleep soundly at night knowing that there are plenty of people like Jamie looking out for them and their furry buddies.

Without Jamie and other members of the community, those dogs could have easily gotten hurt. Thankfully, they opened their hearts and selflessly helped reunite a family.
This touching rescue story is enough to make any adult cry. All the dog owners in the world can only hope that there are others like Jamie around when their doggies decide to go on a little adventure.
