“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to say thank you to the kind strangers that helped corral my dog Remi after my grip slipped on his leash at the intersection of New Hampshire & Rock Creek Church Rd NW. Several motorists and pedestrians helped in the pursuit that ultimately resulted in the pup running home and sitting on the porch. I didn’t catch anyone’s name as I was in hot pursuit of the pup (on a very cold night), but I grateful for their help.”
