The Three-legged Dog Miracle

 

I just wanted to share the miracle of our now, three-legged dog.

The week before Christmas, I pulled into our driveway and the dogs ran out in front of my car.

I stopped in enough time and didn't hit them.

I waited for them to get out of way and then I started forward.

As I did, I ran over something and felt a pit in my stomach as I heard the cries of our little Daisy.

I yelled for Matt as I tried to pick her up.

She was still alive but on a lot of pain.

He rushed her into town to the emergency vet.

And I got on my knees.

With all the loss we have experienced, I didn't think I could handle losing another pet.

She isn't even a year old.

I asked Heavenly Father for a miracle.

Please don't let her die.

I knew that was going to be a stretch.

She was so tiny and my car was so big.

I didn't know how it could be possible.

After they took the xrays, Matt called.

No internal bleeding, no damage to internal organs.

Just a broken leg.

But broken so badly that we had two choices: let her go or amputate.

So, instead of getting flooring for our house, we now have a three-legged dog.

And I'm not mad about that.

In April 2021, Elder Renlund promised, "I pray that you will stand steadfast and faithful in all that is to come. And I promise miracles will attend you..."

How grateful I am for the miracle of a three-legged dog
