Not as important as a baby, but:

Some of my father's neighbors were preparing to leave their lake home after the weekend. Large family (including a baby to pack), traveling in two cars, thunderstorm while they were getting ready to go, etc. etc. They drove two hours home and when they got there realized each thought the dog was in the other car.

After they made a midnight call to my father, we found her, safely locked inside the cabin.

There's a happy ending to this story, too. We were told where to find a key, and since I was leaving my father's the next day and had to pass almost through their town on my way home, I dropped the forgotten pup off on my way.
