Job Interview Questions: Have job interview in 45 minutes, but dog got loose from backyard?

I agree with the other 2 who answered. Call the employer, tell them it is an emergency and explain the situation. Hopefully he will be a dog lover who understands. If not, just look for another job. Hope you found him okay.
