Saved another dog today (a different dog from the last one). I was looking out of a window in my house and saw it crossing a busy road on it's own about 100 metres further up the street, just past the crest of a hill where cars wouldn't see it until they were about to hit it. I ran out and caught up with it, and it ran back across the road, was just missed by a car that was coming over the hill and jumped over a wall into it's front garden when it saw me. I had a word with the owner about securing her garden so that it doesn't get out, but she seemed to regard it as an impossible task and thought that shouting at the dog would be an easier solution. It's a nice dog, but I've seen it escape several times before, and it's going to get hit by a car one of these days.
