Never Underestimate The Power of Love

My dear friends went to see Otis for what they thought would be the last time. He had been in the hospital for a week, and the vet said there was nothing more he could do to save him. But something amazing happened when they held him. They told him how much they needed him and loved him, how much he would be missed if he left them. They talked to him about all the people who love him and recalled funny times and special times they had with him in the past. Otis began to rally a little bit. The vet was shocked by this and very surprised. He asked them to hold off 24 hours before letting Otis go. By the next day, Otis was 100% better than the day before. When they arrived to see him, he was standing up in his kennel barking at them...something he had not done in over a week. Each day since, he has steadily gotten better.

The love of a dog for his owner and the owner for a dog is so special that sometimes love is all that matters. There is no medical explanation for why Otis got better. But I believe in my heart that love is what saved Otis.

I have this kind of love with my own wonderful dogs...if you have it with yours, you are truly blessed.
