My husband and I were “dog-sitting” our granddog Sargeant for a few days. He is a fawn colored, two year old Boxer who is very friendly and good natured. This particular day, Sarge, as we lovingly call him, decided to hop the fence and go on an adventure, little did he know that one of the biggest snow storms to hit Milwaukee in years was on its way - he lost his way in the middle of the blizzard, couldn’t find his way back home and was gone for over 60 hours. Now anyone who has a loving pet knows that they're part of our family.
My husband and grandchildren spent hours looking everywhere for him; we his immediate family and other family members and friends were in constant prayer for his safe return. We all hoped that a kind person or family had taken him in and he was safe and warm from the storm.
His friend, Brown, who is a beautiful Chocolate Lab was on his daily walk with his owner Dirk. They came to a hill and Brown took off running, something he never does, Dirk kept calling him but Brown kept running - Dirk ran after him, and there was Sargeant, weak and starving, laying under a brush trying to keep warm at the bottom of the hill where no one could have seen him. Dirk carried Sarge and he and Brown took him home, fed him and then called us, his family. We truly believe, and are convinced, that because of all the prayer, God performed a miracle and a faithful friend found his buddy and saved his life. We are forever grateful for the answer to prayer and to Brown and Dirk.
