>This is a marvelous story and God does indeed work in >mysterious ways to make life rewarding. > >>There are many amazing stories that occur after huge >>tragedies. One of the most incredible tales I have >>ever heard -- even after three decades of covering all >>sorts of major events -- happened in the soggy >>aftermath of Hurricane Charley in Florida. >> >>It's a true story. My mother-in-law Carolyn Gale >>heard it from one of her best friends. That woman is >>the grandmother of the boy who rescued a dog. >> >>On the day following the storm, the boy heard a >>scratching on the door along with some pitiful, weak >>whimpers. He opened the front door and found a >>mud-spattered blonde-furred pupppy, shaking and >>crying. He looked outside to see if anyone was >>looking for him then brought the dog inside. He >>toweled him off and found some scraps and water for >>the small, roly poly dog. >> >>"May I keep him?" the boy asked his mother after the >>puppy was well into its second bowl of food. "No, I'm >>afraid not," she said. "I know you have been wanting a >>dog but we can't afford one right now." >> >>The mother looked through advertisements in the >>newspaaper to see if anyone had reported a puppy lost. >> There were so many things that had been torn apart by >>the hurricane. Nothing seemed close so she called the >>newspaper and placed an ad of her own, describing the >>furry little survivor who had been torn away from his >>home. The boy took care of the puppy and they took >>long walks, getting to know each other closely until >>the phone rang one day.. It was the puppy's real >>owners. >> >>"Yes, that's our golden retriever puppy," the woman on >>the phone said. "I know that's him. We'll drive over >>to your house in a few hours and pick him up." >> >>The puppy had covered a great deal of distance -- >>miles in fact -- before it came to what seemed like a >>friendly door. The boy had been told that the owners >>were on the way, and they soon arrived. They joyously >>grabbed the puppy and offered the people who found him >>a small reward and much thanks. The reward was turned >>down and the puppy and its real owners woon drove >away. >> >>It was devastating for the boy who had hoped it was a >>puppy he could keep. They had bonded quickly. It was >>exactly what he had needed. He had not been doing >>well at school and had zero friends. His small size >>made him among the worst of gym class games and not >>much went any better. So for a few days, he had >>somthing to look forward to -- a wagging tail and >>puppy love waitting for him at home. He missed the >>puppy very much -- but in a couple of days he was >>watching television inside when he heard a familiar >>whimper and sratching at the door. >> >>His mother called the real owners. They said they'd >>be right over -- and they came quickly since they knew >>where the house was. When they got there, the boy was >>waiting with the dog inside the home. As they came >>inside, they saw the small golden retriever lying >>happily beside the boy who was petting it >>affectionately. >> >>"Looks like our puppy found a real home on his own," >>said the man who owned the dog. "If you don't mind, I >>think we'd like to make the puppy and your boy happy >>by letting them stay together." His wife nodded her >>head and smiled at the puppy and boy who obviously >>loved each other veyr much. >> >>The mother stammered something not being able to take >>care of a dog. >> >>"Don't worry," the man said. "Let me go drive home and >>pick up the puppy's bed and some toys and food dishes >>and more." And he did. >> >>There are always moments of warm sunshine after every >>destructive storm. That's why we keep going, isn't >it?
