Subject: If you've ever loved and lost a dog, please read and cross post
I know we ask for prayers for humans and I think God will answer prayers for
such a litte guy with a big heart.
Tucson needs a miracle.
Let me explain. Three weeks ago, I found a miniature schnauzer in my
driveway that was so emaciated that I didn't expect him to live through the
weekend to get to the vet. But I put him on 3 hour feedings and vitamins
and he about doubled his weight over the weekend.
As soon as he got stronger, he wanted to continue his journey, it was plain
he was searching for the way HOME!!
I placed an ad in the local paper "Small purebred housedog found, has been
lost a long time, owner describe." We have lab buyers here, it is necessary
to protect the found dogs from them. After several calls, we actually found
Tuscon's owner, an older lady who bought him as a puppy from a breeder in
Tucson, hence the name. He had been lost since someone removed him from his
yard last November.
His mom has been to see him almost everyday since we found her. We are
paying the hospital bill because it was our decision to give him every
chance to find his way home. He is such a sweet little thing.
At first, he seemed to be improving and we were hopeful he would be home
soon with his mom. But now he seems to have stopped improving and the vet
has said if he doesn't get over this hump, that he should be PTS on Monday,
because he might have been starved for too long and suffered permanent
damage to his kidneys.
I've tried to console myself with the fact that if we lose him at least we
have reunited him with his mom before he went to the Bridge. But I want
more than that for him. I want a miracle from God. So I am asking everyone
who reads this letter, who has ever loved a pet to ask God for a miracle for
Tucson. Just a short prayer, a few seconds will do, God knows who he is if
He knows every sparrow and lily in the field. He's just a little dog, but
I'm sure God loves him at least as much as a sparrow and if enough of us ask
Him for a miracle, I don't see how God can ignore that much faith. A short
prayer and just crosspost this letter wherever you think people who love
their animals will say a short prayer for Tucson.
You see, I've been rescuing for 44 years now and this is only the third dog
whose owners I've found. But if you could have seen that tiny body, so
shrunken with starvation, but as soon as he had eaten enough to stand, he
was ready to head out on the path home again because he couldn't give up on
the love in that tiny, doggy heart. I tell people all the time that we
can't save them all and we can't change the world, but for each one that we
do save, we have changed their whole world.
Well, people and medicine have done all they can to get Tucson home and he
only has until Monday, Oct. 16th to pull through or be sent to the Bridge
The only thing that can save him now is an answered prayer. So please, for
all the lost dogs in the world tonite, lets say one short prayer for them
and for Tucson and ask God to give him a little time with the family he has
tried so hard to get home to.
If you have other dog lists where people aren't ashamed to ask God for a
miracle for a little dog, then please forward this letter. I believe God
answers prayers and I have seen many miraculous things in my life. This is
the only thing left I can think of to do for him.
Anyway, thanks for reading and doing whatever your heart leads you to do.
