I didn't put this in animals because its more than that..there is a special human story in here, from the actual owner of the dog.
quoting the middle of the story, the front and the end are just as important:
Four days later, they still had the dog. He was starting to answer to his new name.
He loved roughhousing with Azaiah, knew to be gentle with Christian. He almost never barked.
On Saturday, Azaiah went to his dad's house. Christian retreated to his room to watch a Barney video. The dog dozed beside him.
Yolanda had just stepped onto her porch to water the plants when the dog flung himself into the screen door, barking madly.
As she opened the door, the dog sprinted across the living room, into the boys' room.
Yolanda screamed. Christian was slumped over, his body writhing in a seizure, blood streaming from his nose and mouth.
The dog ran to the boy, still yelping. But as soon as Yolanda bent to cradle her son, the dog went silent.
"If he hadn't come to get me," Yolanda told Stacey later, "the neurologist said Christian would have choked on his own blood and died."
Since no one had claimed the dog, Yolanda decided to keep him.
——
Stacey got a call the next morning. A man named Randy had recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.
Stacey sobbed. She had been working so hard to find the dog's owner. Now that he had found her, everything seemed wrong.
