A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in
Regina Beach,Saskatchewan.I had just cleaned up the pool in
preparation for selling the house.The year before,I had lost my job
with the provincial government,and now our financial situation was
grim.In despair,I had finally put the home on the market,and a real
estate agent was due to show up later that day.Even worse,I would
have to give up my beloved Great Dane(大丹犬),Brigitte,because I
could no longer afford the cost of feeding it.The thought of losing the
dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair,I sat typing up resumes and cover letters.Out of
the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son,Forrest,
as he lay on the carpet,playing near our big,gentle nanny-dog,
Brigitte.It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family
and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell
rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived.I ran
to the door and swung it open,but no one was there.I sensed
something and looked down,only to find a beautiful Great Dane
sitting there,looking up at me with big,intelligent eyes.There was no
way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself,was there?
Perhaps,someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there,
and then rang the doorbell and ran away.They accurately guessed I
would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these,I couldn't help heaving a sigh and went straight
back to work.However,I hadn't typed more than two sentences when
Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the
sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding
door was slightly open.Suddenly,I realized Forrest was nowhere to be
seen.In panic,I opened the door and ran outside.
