When it looks hopeless.....

When you think things are gone, do not always give up hope. Oscar has been gone, since the flood, one month. I was sorry that he had gotten so frightened that night, he was lost. We have had him for ten years.

He should have stayed in his warm safety, being frightened he ran into the storm. We assumed, there was so much water, he had been swept away like the trees and roads were. A phone call said they had been keeping him safe. We were shocked and thrilled at the same time. No one could believe this.
A lesson on staying in your safety and not running wildly into the storms of this life. Think again, when you feel like running from challenges.

So pleased you found your dog. My little dog I've had for 13 years died recently and it was heartbreaking. I have five children and a busy life but she was so much a part of it.

Well said -- I'm always looking to tie these kinds of experiences to life lessons. Good job Oscar!

He'll appreciate being home. They have good memories and thankfully he was saved by a good person who could return him to you.
