Want A Feel Good Story? Just Had To Share This

What a great story! I heard a great story on Ellen yesterday about a grand dog. There was a house on fire out in no where's land in Alaska. A policemen (I think) got the call. His GPS system wasn't working but he did the best he could to find the right area. Along one of the out lying roads he runs across a dog. The dog runs up one of turn off roads and gets the policeman to follow him. He goes along way up the road, making several turns but the policeman stays with him. The dog leads him to the house that is on fire and he is able to save the entire family. Then the dog goes back down to the road again and leads the fire engine back up to the house as well. What a dog, huh?

Our Hobo was a beat up old Tom with FIV, we loved him still, and wish he were still with us - tho he'd be about 20 now

Sol, is a very lucky and special one indeed. T have a person take him and do what he did for him is wonderful. I will do things like this too. Everything needs and deserves love! I have taken in many special needs babies even if I could not afford to fix their special problem. I just gave them more love and affection and showed them that they were so special! They are very SPECIAL.

Oh that was a really good video pyawacket, thanks so much for sharing. I saw immediately when he can see and I may be mistaken, but I saw complete joy on this dogs face as he jumped around his owner...

cool. i hope more people save these animals before it is too late. spread this throughout the internet to get it out...

[b]I think it is not a story and it is a happening... and finally you made me to cry... it is really heart touching... I was unable to control my tears from my eyes out of the happiness... It proves that still love holds the world...[/b]

It was wonderful to see the happy change in that blind dogs life. The link reminded me of my Maltese (Kris Kringle) who was deaf. He used to watch at the window for me coming home from work and would still be looking out the window when I came in the house. I learned to stomp my feet when I came into the house or a room that way he felt the vibration and knew I was there and did not get a fright. I have adopted a special needs pet and it is wonderful so see how they respond with so much love when they realize that you are helping them.

Very touching. My tears of joy flowed freely as I watch this video to see this cute puppy finally able to see and enjoy her surroundings. Thanks to all the donors who made it possible for her to see again. This is a real miracle for a rejected blind dog to find a good person who has done everything to make the impossible possible.

Hi Pye, I was in tears watching that, it is fantastic that little Sol got his eyesight back and that people haad cared enough to help raise the funds for him to be able to have this done-I have 2 dogs and love them so much so this story really touched my heart, and yes I would consider adopting a dog with special needs, just because they may need that extra help doesnt take away the love, loyalty and trust they put and give you..hugs LoLo

Good Video. I love dogs and would not allow it to happen with my pets. I have two cute and lovely shih tzu with me, the other one has a little problem with his eyes. He's so sweet and loving dog. Can't think of giving him out just because he has defect or health problem. Way back home, I have a dog who suffers from a severe illness, she can't walk anymore for some reasons but I didn't give up. I gave her medicines, take good care of her, let her force to eat so she could survive and thank God. She's okay now and back to normal... she can walk already and is very active.

Okay I am crying...What a beautiful little fellow! Fancy dumping him because he had cataracts! I am so glad that there were kind souls that raised the money for his operation! I wonder if he has been adopted now, it looks like he has...He has such a beautiful little face, he is a little darling and I wish I could give him a cuddle! Thanks for sharing Pye...

YOu are so right about needing the tissues. It's so hard for me to understand how anyone can be so cruel to put a dog down and with our technology cataracts are not a problem now not even for dogs. The expense can always be arranged. This was so cute and really touched my heart. I just took in a yr. old lab pup who was dumped or left behind.She is full blood and had sores on her legs but I let her in the yard and took her to the vet. The vet staff was afraid she might have heart worm or something else wrong because why dump a full blood dog?? I gave permission for her blood to be drawn to make sure she didn't have kidney disease or some other physical problem that would make her not a perfect dog. The tests came back negative and she was spayed yesterday and is doing fine. Yes, I'd take a dog with special needs , any need. I have three dogs and two cats and I really consider them all with their own type of special needs ! ME ! But not being silly, an animal with problems is just like us, scared like this little dog was to even walk and most people don't consider the feeling of a dog or a cat who need extra love and care. Thanks for sending this. hugs, quita

Sol was so cute! It was nice to have a happy ending. A lot of pets don't as you know. I can't imagine giving a pet away to a kill shelter, just because he had cataracts! Humans get cataracts also and that doesn't mean they can't live a full life and should be killed. If the owner couldn't afford the surgery, which might have been the case, he should have still kept him or at least give him to a no kill shelter.

Sol so cute, its make me wanna Maltese now. You never know what you got until you lost it. I like to adopt any dog but not now because my house can not handle any dog.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww dont know if I would adopt but glad they got eyes fixed.

SOOO nice to have you back again, pye! Yes... I would adopt a pet with special needs..lovingly. But first I would assess my situation very carefully..as often special needs~~~mean extra-special time, and I truly am afraid that sometimes these pets are adopted for all the wrong reasons. The adopter wants the accolades, the "atta boys!" for being such a good person, meanwhile the "little person in a fur coat's" needs are NOT being met! In all cases, you pet needs your dedication and devotion...but with a special needs pet, you sometimes have to go the extra mile...and your lifestyle may NOT allow that...and often these pets are once again "re-homed" or back at a shelter....which is even sadder! Take care and Cheers!

I had a blind in one eye cat. He was great! Creamcycle (one I have now) has upper respiratory problems and can't seem to keep his right eye from getting an infection. Animals are like people, they have problems, too. Most people, if they get to be very old will have cataracts which is luckier than if they have glaucoma. At least that can be operated on and fixed.

oh now you went and made me cry...

Pye! P.S.! I forgot to mention in my other letter here today--I have SOUND back, so I returned & re-viewed the video, & it was wonderful! I still can't understand why he landed on the kill list; is the woman who is speaking to him the owner? If she is, from where did she get enough $$$ to buy so many Maltese? Why did she have to "raise" the money if she can afford to purchase pure-breds?? I can't believe they returned that darling little guy to her if she's that irresponsible--or, am I confused, & she WASN'T the owner?

So heart-warming that Sol is now doing really well. So adorable. Thanks for the share, Mel. I would definitely adopt or take care a pet with something like that. My love for them is so unconditional..
