Hello Everyone,
I am sorry it has been a while since I logged on but I had to share the most wonderful experience with you all tonight.
This morning I received a call from a stranger, a woman named Morgan, asking me if I lived in Indiana. I said, "Well, no I don't" and she said do you know a woman named " Donna Mcgee " and I said, "no I don't". Now in my mind I am saying to myself, "self" this just doesn't feel right, but play it out.
So I asked Morgan, "what this was all about" and she said to me, "Maryella, I found a black labrador retriever and I took it to the vet and they read the chip on the dog and told me who it belonged to, but the information is out of date and I cannot locate the owners." I have been calling every Donna Mcgee in Indiana to no avail. The phone number doesn't work any longer and I am at my wits end.
As a last ditch effort, Morgan had googled the womans name, "Donna Mcgee" and it linked her with me and it happened to be on a web site called Linked in. Linked in gave her the telephone number of my travel agency and showed Donna and I as friends. But only because Donna had owned a travel agency and were had like interests.
My love of animals and good hearted nature would not allow me to let this situation go without at least making and attempt to try and help Morgan find the dogs owners.
So I logged on to Linked in, and messaged Donna Mcgee, and a few hours later, I received a second phone call from a stranger, this time from Donna Mcgee.
Sure enough it was her dog, a very sad story, Donna has had a down turn of luck because of the economy and had to give up her dog and some wonderful friends offered to take the dog and care for it. The dog had a tendency to like to stray from the yard, and this time the owners could not find it any where. The friends, not wanting to upset Donna any more than she was already, didn't tell her, and couldn't believe that two perfect strangers went through the trouble to try and find the dogs owners and reunite them with the cherished animal.
Donna went out of her way to call me back, and wanted to thank me for going out of my way to try and find her, and then spent 10 minutes teling me all about this wonderful dog, and how happy everyone now is tonight, to be reuinted with there glorious pet.
Morgan had told Donna that since she had so many pets already, she just couldn't take on the expense and care of another animal, but that if she were to adopt again, this would be the exact dog. It was a wonderful experience for Morgan, and she had grown to love the dog in a short period of time.
So the moral of the story is that the dog is home safe and sound, with it's family, and a small effort on the part of two strangers, were able to make the lives of some very saddened people, much happier tonight.
I felt so great about doing this, that I took it as a sign that my angesl were telling me that the things in my own life would work out, with a bit of team work, love, care and some effort.
I hope you all have as great of and experience as I did today, in your life, and I am so thankful to have been able to help and animal find its home again. That I had to share this wonderful story with everyone.
Have a great night!
