Lost (and Found) My Dog Yesterday – It’s Still a Wonderful World

February 6, 2010
By

Yesterday, I spent seven hours mostly in tears after my beloved Lhasa Apso disappeared.  I thought she was gone forever, killed on a roadside or, worse, taken by a coyote.   Instead,  I learned that miracles still happen and that I live amidst wonderful people, who will go the extra mile to be an angel to a stranger, turning their grief into joy.  In our crazy and increasingly isolated world, it’s exhilarating to discover that I remain surrounded by true compassion and generosity.

It’s far too easy to fall prey to cynicism and distrust.    As painful as it was, I’m privileged to have experienced again the awesome effects  of an act of human kindness.  May I remember to seek opportunities to do the same for others.

    What a lovely story with an amazingly happy ending! Our beloved golden retriever decided to go wandering off many years ago when our daughter was about seven. Of course, she, my husband and I were heartbroken.

    Luckily for us, a lovely family took him in, fed him well, and responded to one of the flyers we had circulated. I know the feeling of gratitude for the kindness of strangers. Thanks for putting a smile on my face with your wonderful story.

      Eileen,

      Oh, I can just imagine how your daughter felt – and how you felt for her (and yourselves). Your story just adds to my conviction that there really are wonderful people all around us. Thanks for sharing your happy story.

  50. Debbie Stevens on February 6, 2010 at 12:37 pm

    Hello Maryanne,

    What a nice story…as another pet owner[collie], can only imagine how distraught you would have been??
    Great that the story has such a happy ending!

    Koala hugs

    • Mary Anne on February 6, 2010 at 12:44 pm

      Thanks, Debbie. It really was a miracle to me. I LOVE collies, always wanted to own one – maybe someday!
