Sarah’s birthday gift, Radiance, surprised her family by becoming a ‘miracle dog.’ T he day before Thanksgiving, Sarah found her mother, Mandy, outside crying because she thought the family’s 10-month-old Golden Re- triever puppy, Radiance, might have rabies. “Radiance is not in her right mind, she’s foaming at the mouth, her legs are limp and her eyes are not focus- ing,” said Mandy. “Go into the house and do not come outside. If she sees you, she will run to you. Pray for her.” Sarah ran inside, catapulted herself on the couch and burst into tears. “My dog is my joy! Without her I would be heartbro- ken,” said 11-year-old Sarah. Mandy came to check on her devastated daughter and tell her that, “Radiance is now paralyzed, except for her head.” “Can she survive rabies? Is there a cure?” pleaded Sar- ah. Sobbing, the two of them hugged and Mandy whis- pered, “I don’t know,” as they went to where Sarah’s grandfather had Radiance. “I ran toward my suffering pup,” said Sarah. “Her head was bobbing around, and her eyes were moving every- where. She could not walk or stand but was still trying to come to me. She was not vicious or growling, just con- fused. It was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.” Her mother and grandfather took a blanket, placed the weak dog on it and lifted the blanket into the bed of their truck. Knowing Radiance’s life was at risk they sped to the closest vet clinic. For some unexplained reason, the clinical staff showed little concern for their dog’s life-threatening circum- stance. Frustrated, they sped to a second clinic where the veterinarian determined that Radiance did not have rabies and surmised it was poisoning. He administered something to make her “toss her cookies” and almost immediately, she began acting like herself. The vet found that the dog had eaten hundreds of fast-acting toxic Sago palm seeds which cause liver dam- age and can be fatal. The veterinarian said, “The best thing for the dog is to stay overnight. We will run IVs into her to give her the best chance of survival.” So, before leaving, Sarah and her mother prayed over Radiance. “Everyone was sure my dog would die because it is not possible for one to eat that many poisonous seeds and survive,” said Sarah. Concerned, Sarah’s mom again prayed, “Lord, please heal her and let her live. We com- mand toxins to go in Jesus’ name and His power.” “I hugged Radiance and when I went to blow my nose, she got up on her two front paws!” exclaimed a surprised Sarah. “Everyone was shocked! It was a miracle!” Then Sarah’s mother prayed, again, “Lord, please put a hedge of protection around her liver so no toxins can damage it.” Suddenly, the dog wagged her tail. “Her tail wasn’t paralyzed anymore,” said Sarah. “It was miraculous!” The next morning, the clinic called to say, “Come and pick up your dog. She is fully recovered. Her paralysis has gone and her liver shows no signs of damage or tox- icity.” The family marveled at their Thanksgiving miracle. When Sarah’s family went to get Radiance, she raced to them full of energy and joy. “We walked in and Radiance was perfectly normal,” said Sarah. “The vet told us, ‘She’s been barking all morning trying to get us to play with her.’ How is that for a dog who was on the brink of death? Radiance had eat- en hundreds of poisonous seeds and dogs do die — but not Radiance. With God’s Mercy, she is our miracle dog.” TIPS: Sarah loves basketball and she wanted to have a buddy to play with her. She Googled: How to teach your dog to play basketball and saw dogs scoring hoops. (https:// propuppy.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/air-buddies-and- how-to-teach-your-dog-to-play-soccer-volleyball-and- basketball/) Sarah taught Radiance to put a mini ball in a mini bas- ketball hoop. When they are both older, Sarah plans on teaching Radiance, “How to shoot a real basketball into a real hoop.” MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE AFFORDABLY WE LIVE IN THE SAME TOWN WE WORK IN “WE MAKE SHIFT HAPPEN!” www.automotivespecialties.biz DUSTIN TULLAR & RUSS OWENS 541-942-8022 • COTTAGE GROVE Share your fur-avorite pet memory or adventure at angelscribe@msn.com.
