A heart-warming video began with a driver seeing a large brown & white dog
lying-lifeless on the side of the road with five little puppies
desperately trying to nurse from their dead mother.
The lady in the car, a skilled vet, quicky stopped,
rushed to the back of her van, grabbed her medical kit
and quickly placed an oxygen mask over the dog’s nose.
Working passionately to revive the dog, amazingly several
minutes the dog began to take small breaths.
She then gave the dog a vital injection and shaved her
leg to start an IV. Miraculously, life had returned to her!
All the while, the little puppies were still desperately
trying to nurse from their mother, but sadly one precious
little pup passed away. Breaking the Dog-Samaritan’s heart,
she wrapped the little puppy in a pink towel
and lovingly buried the little dog near where
her mother had been stricken ill.
The reason I am sharing this with you who may have taken
time to read it, is that inside the human heart and spirit,
as today’s scripture reminds us, that this compassion
is instilled inside of us from the heart of God.
This story profoundly touched me and it reminds all
of us that life is precious and fleeting.
Friend, we’re all here on this earth to treasure
and show kindness to each other, to be conscientious of those
we are entrusted to care for but also to the animals
who also are so dependent on us - like that precious mother-dog
who would never have come to life again without the compassion
of that compassionate veterinarian.
I hope this story has blessed you and has been as
meaningful to you as it has been to me.
Who needs a blessing today in your life?
