Angel retriever

Do you ever wonder how Higher Forces might work through creatures other than humans?  Animal-assisted therapy reveals some animals develop and exhibit a special intuition.  Something mysterious and delightful could also be going on.

Consider a retired engineer was feeling sorry for himself.  He felt increasingly vulnerable, as he was losing independence.  He was embarassed about repeated angina attacks in public places.  In essence, he was frustrated with his growing lack of control over his life.  His attacks struck him without warning.  His senses were unable to anticipate things.  He had become reactive when he would've preferred to be proactive.  The pain drained his strength, his morale and his outlook. 

After an attack at a dog training seminar where his golden retriever had suddenly urged him to leave the auditorium, a lightbulb went on.  As he proceeded to have an attack, the dog came to his rescue.  He licked his arms and face, and never left the man's side.  As his medication took effect and he slowly recovered, the engineer began to think his precious Dakota was also trying to tell him something.  The man could've sworn the dog's eyes changed color before and after.

He thought back to how this dog would paw at him as he lay on the couch.  At times, the dog would get agitated, as if for no reason.  Minutes later, the man would have an attack and then blame the dog for getting him too excited into a medical emergency.  He was reluctant to give Dakota credit for sensing when these attacks were going to occur.  Animal premonitions?  Could it be more?  The man wasn't religious, but something was intervening.

On another occasion, the man was working at his desk at home, when the typically docile dog pushed his head up the man's arm and onto his leg, causing him to spill al his coffee.  he chose to take medication at that point and go to bed.  He had taken a warning.  Clearly, he wasn't in control, but curiously, it was almost as if the dog was.  He took complete charge, climbing on the bed and looking straight in the owners eyes.  The animal's presence and attention reassured the man.  The dog was so quick to respond.  Perhaps its a special gift?

Seizure alert dogs exhibit classic "alerting" as they sense a person is about to have an epileptic or diabetic emergency.  Yet, these dogs are typically trained to perform a medical partner role. Seeing eye dogs are also rigorously trained to assist the visually-impaired.  This in mind, Dakota was never trained how to alert anyone of a crisis, and was never taught how to sense oncoming heart attacks.  This dog's family line has no history of assisting humans in medical scenarios.  It has emerged as a heavenly calling.   It was Dakota who finally drew a man's attention to the severity of his heart problem.  After 6 years, he's still alive and managing his health more effectively because of his guardian angel retriever.

Liara,
Amazing story, but so so so believable for me.
As you know from visiting my site, that my Golden was sent to help my Zen take wings. Thank you for telling this story.

Harmony, animals are often highly-attuned to their senses. Human beings are not always so attuned to themselves. This kind of story reminds each of us to open our eyes to things going on all around us. We often underestimate the significance of what we see.
