All of the Christmas stuff is up, the lights outside are glowing on the house and, as you know, my Christmas picture is taken,. I am, now, enjoying the fire and taking in the beauty of Christmas (and still ordering on-line all of the presents!)
Sure, we went from 50 degrees 10 inches of snow and below zero temps in less that a week. But, I have a little story that will melt your heart and inspire all of us about the magic of Christmas and the wonder of human nature.
A few days after Thanksgiving, a stray dog was found in Milwaukee, WI and brought to the animal control facility.
He was a small shaggy, friendly dog and with all the luck in to world he had his rabies tag on.
He was from Arkansas! They contacted the appropriate people and found the owners! He had been gone since Thanksgiving day.
However, there was no way for the family to get to Milwaukee… so numerous people got involved to find this little dog a way back to his family.
Close friends of mine, Susan and Jody, contacted an organization called Pilots and Paws. They are a group of pilots who donate their time to fly rescued animals across the country.
Pilots and Paws was happy to help get this little guy back to his family. And, on December 5th, the scrappy littlle stray was returned to his family in Arkansas at the local airport.
The 5 year old little girl was beyond elated to have her doggy back.
No one has any idea how he made it all the way to Milwaukee. But, the most important thing is that he made it all the way home with the unwavering help of so many people who wanted nothing more than to see this dog reunited with his owners and just in time for Christmas.
Sometimes, I am skeptical of miracles, but today my spirit is renewed. It is an amazing world out there and this really is a magical time of the year.
