An Early Christmas Miracle

In the spirit of the holiday season, we thought we'd share a story with you that happened just the other day at Camp.

It was a typical afternoon at Camp Bow Wow Pittsburgh South. The dogs were barking, the phone ringing, and the mops swishing. Rachel was at the front desk when a woman came in with a flyer for her lost dog. We occasionally get these types of visitors, asking for our help to get the word out about their lost pet, and we're happy to do whatever we can to reunite them with their companions. This time was a bit different, however, because the dog was blind. Rachel took the flyer but couldn't help but feel like the situation was bordering on hopeless. How would a dog with no sight be able to find his way home? As the day went on, the dogs continued barking, the mops continued swishing, and the phone continued ringing. It was one phone call, though, that brought an early Christmas miracle to our doorstep. Pam, one of our Camp Counselors, called us to say she had found a dog in her back yard. She had put water and food out for him, but she thought he might be blind. Could it be that this dog that somehow ended up in Pam's yard was the same lost blind dog that we had gotten a visit about just a few hours earlier? It seemed too good to be true, but it was! Pam was able to get in touch the dog's owners, and he was soon returned to his own back yard. It could have been a coincidence, or maybe it was fate, but we are all truly glad to know that this lost-and-found story had a happy ending.
