How far would you go to get a lost dog back home?

Today I was driving on a pretty busy street & a little Sheltie dog was running aimlessly down this street. I was so scared for the little guy & started following him. There were several others who were trying to help. The dog finally went down a residential street only to come out through another busy street. I caught up to him & rolled my window down to call him ("Here, puppy, puppy!") in the sweetest voice I could muster. I was able to stop in the middle turning lane & try to coax the dog to me. Another person stopped to help. I opened both front doors to my car & he eventually went into the car. He had a collar on & I was able to phone his owner who met me in the parking lot of a local supermarket. He was very appreciative & I made sure that he knew that there were many people trying to help his little dog. I would do just about anything if I see a lost dog, especially if he/she has a collar with tags. I even kept a collie for awhile, never could find his owner. He went to a good home through the collie rescue group I'm involved with. How far would you go to help a lost dog? I was really impressed that so many people pulled over to help this dog. It made me feel better about the human race!
