Not photoshopped beam of light shines on fallen soldiers miracle dog.

It was an overcast day in Newport, N.H., when a simple “20/20″ shoot turned into something that made me wonder about life after death.

I was filming soldier Justin Rollin’s parents Skip and Rhonda playing with their dog Hero, whose rescue from the Iraq War zone where Justin died was nothing short of a miracle.

Sometimes when Rhonda hugged Hero she would softly pet her face and coo, “Justin, are you in there?” It was Rhonda’s gentle way of remembering their son and his last living connection to Hero. At one point, Hero wandered off and took a stroll in the backyard. All of a sudden, the clouds broke and a light began to solidify in a beam directly down on Hero — a kind of vertical halo.

Pause for thought? Interesting?

Lucky picture? Set it up? btw; Vegemite tastes terrible!

This may not be photoshopped, but are there other possible explanations, like maybe lens flare?

I will have to actually watch 20/20 tonight for a rare time. I’d like to believe it’s something we can’t explain other than to say it might be it could be...

Awww...Those pics remind me of my Ranger. He was a Katrina rescue, and when I took him in, he was covered with mud, blood and snot. He was malnourished and heartworm +...he cleaned up pretty well too :-)

Once the spot in the clearing was found that afforded the shaft of light, then it would “merely” be a matter of putting the dog there. That would be the simplest explanation.

However, it sounds like the original photo for the OP wasn’t set up.

What does vegemite have to do with it? Is this an Aussie photo?

It can’t help but take your breath away........
