Stray Dog’s Bizarre Bus Chase Ends with Heartwarming Adoption

A stray dog’s bizarre bus chase and subsequent heartwarming adoption has recently made headlines in Franklin County, Georgia. The canine was chasing a doggy daycare bus when the driver, Tyson Cash, noticed him. Thanks to Cash’s efforts, the stranded Labrador, now known as Waylon, found a new and loving home.

Stray dog who ‘wanted on the bus badly’ has a canine sibling now

Tyson Cash, who runs the Keller Creek Boarding and Grooming, was on his morning rounds when a stray dog started chasing his doggy daycare bus. According to The Washington Post , Cash said that the stranded Labrador “wanted on the bus badly.” He added, “[The dog] was doing everything he could to get on with the other dogs.” Sadly, he couldn’t let the seemingly friendly dog on the bus.

Before that, Tyson Cash explained his unusual encounter with the stray Labrador who ended up chasing his daycare bus. He recalled picking up his canine clients on the morning of July 16 when he saw that Motley, a Labrador Retriever and his regular dog, had company. Cash claimed he had found Motley, who was waiting on his front porch with another pooch.

Confused, he contacted Motley’s owners to find out if they had adopted a new dog. However, the owners told him that they didn’t have a second dog. They then informed him about the stray dog that had been in the area, claiming that the residents had been taking care of him.

But that was not Tyson Cash’s only problem: the stray Labrador “wanted on the bus badly.” However, he explained he couldn’t let the stray on the bus as he “didn’t know about his vaccination status. I didn’t know if he was on flea and tick prevention.” Additionally, Cash said that he “didn’t want to jeopardize all the other dogs.”

Tyson Cash made the tough decision to drive off on the bus without the yellow canine. But, before leaving, he asked his wife to post a picture of the dog on their daycare’s Facebook page. Their attempt was to track down the owner. He then drove off, and that’s when the stray dog began chasing the doggy daycare bus in hopes of securing a ride with his fellow canine friend Motley.

Cash exclaimed that he “felt horrible about leaving him” and even posted a video of the Labrador chasing the bus on Facebook. He added, “I was concerned about him,” stating he would take the stray home if nobody came forward to claim him. Cash said he “would have figured out a way” to take care of him despite already having nine dogs.

The bus-chasing stray dog would finally find a home with one of Tyson Cash’s doggy daycare clients. Sadie Peace’s yellow Labrador, Nellie, frequented Cash’s Keller Creek Boarding and Grooming. When Peace saw Cash’s Facebook post, she decided to “reach out and see if anybody has a home for this dog.” She added, “If not, I want him,” explaining she “had been wanting a friend for Nellie.”

Peace later got in touch with a woman who had been housing the stray dog that chased down the doggy daycare bus. She learned that this woman had named the stray dog Waylon but couldn’t keep him any longer. The woman had to let him go because her two female dogs were in heat. However, Peace decided to continue calling him Waylon.

Waylon had been “roaming around for, I guess, weeks” when Tyson Cash found him. Sadie Peace revealed that the stray, who is about two to three years old, was in bad shape at the time. “All his ribs were showing,” “he had fleas and ticks all over him,” and “you could just tell he had not been taken care of very well,” added Peace.

Once Sadie Peace picked up Waylon, she took her to the vet, where they found he had a microchip. The microchip company did not reveal details about the dog’s previous owners, but the transfer of ownership was a success.

Waylon has now started a new life with his dog sibling Nellie. Peace stated that they “both sleep in bed with us every single night” and “are best friends.” She added, “They follow each other around everywhere.”

Additionally, Waylon’s story—from a stray chasing the daycare bus as a stray dog to formally boarding the same bus—is nothing short of a sensation. He has received all his vaccinations and participates in the Keller Creek daycare program at least once every week.
