A dog, a teacher, and a cage

I know the title sounds fairly interesting enough, but I promise none is going to walk into a closet and find a magical dog and an Evil teacher but the title fits the story, so here I go. Today... I am very proud to say... I got to take part in saving a life! ( okay it was a dog.... and technically in the end things probably would have turned out fine but this was still exciting for me! just for your information my 2nd 5th and 6th period are all with the same teacher in the same class.) I go to my second period class today and I hear this poor dog (pure breed golden Lab) whimpering outside I duck my head out the door and surely enough it ewas a dog, who had gotten himself stuck (locked inside of a cage) only about 3 times as big as he is. It was school authority that locked it in there I'm sure, and school athourity also would not let it out. During second period its reading so all we're allowed to do is sit there and read. so at this point there is nothing I can do, I figure "Oh well someone will figure it out and help the dog" right? wrong! the bell rings and I leave. I get back into that class for my fifth period and that dog is still stuck inside there with noone aiding to its needs, (as far as I know that thing has been inside there whimpering and starving all morning) I suggest to the teacher that we sohould maybe go outside and check for tags and call the owner. apparently this would cut into to much class time and would disrupt things beyond compare ( I know its only one life I mean we could live without it right? now, if two dogs were stuck in there maybe, that might be a big deal, but no this is only one so no one cares.) now I thought this is absolutely ridiculous I decide to do something about it, my two friends and I go outside and check the dog for tags during our five minute break between fifth and sixth period. We see oh look theres a number on the dog tag (hmm... maybe the owner wants their dog back?) the sixth period bell rings and we all go inside the classroom. the teacher gives us the entire period to work on a project we are doing (in the back of the class there is a storage room about the size of a large walk-in closet) my two friends squish into that room, and call the number, while I get the pleasure of acting as a distraction! ;-> they call the people and give them the address to the school and my cell phone number as a call back number. They call back and inform us that they are on their way to pick up the dog now but they live in Sandy so it will take about 30 minutes. Okay we can live with that! 30 minutes no big deal! accept for the fact. Fifteen minutes from now Animal control shows up and assures us everything is going to be fine! they will take the dog to the Pound and put him to sleep for causing so much commotion at our "learning environment" I run out side and inform the animal "police" that I have called the owners and they are on their way and if they could please come back in an hour and if the dog is still here they can take him away then, after long discussion they agree to come back in forty five minutes and the teacher agrees I should get detention and a call home for going outside in the middle of class! all is fair in love and war (no its not but I'll play along) so I call home, while my moms at work and don't get an answer (obviously) I wait, and wait, then the bell rings and here's my lunch period, so I wait, and I wait throughout my entire lunch period! (fun huh?) anyway so the owner finally shows up , along with the principle, The man thanked me and informed the principle what a fine person I was for calling him (now if you remember phones are not allowed at school) he finds out I use My cell phone during class and I get it taken away (keep in mind for saving a dogs life! ) and I get lunch detention so I didn't have time to eat but...
I saved a life! lol :) I guess it was kind of worth it!
