I can’t think of a better Christmas present, or story. What a miracle for this family, and dog.

What a great Christmas story. We had a similar Christmas story. We were coming back to Houston from Christmas in Rockport Tx at my parents house. Our 5 year old daughter started vomiting in the car and we made several stops to clean her up. At one of the stops our Yorkie got out and we didn’t notice. Days later a friend was listening to a local radio program and someone called in about finding a Yorkshire Terrier. My friend called me, I called the radio station and we got our dog back. We didn’t make the news. LOL!

Lily is a Great Dane that has been blind since a bizarre medical condition required that she have both eyes removed. For the last 5 years, Maddison, another Great Dane, has been her sight. The two are, of course, inseparable. 
Merry Christmas to all, may we all share the love and kindness to one another exhibited above.
