Not every angel wears a shining gold halo. Like the story of Dusty, the little white Bichon Frise, who saved her master trapped in a car wreck at night, in the rain, and in the middle of nowhere. Or Mia the yellow lab that detected her loving owner's cancer after it had been missed by a mammogram. On the lighter side, we have the tale of a cat that raised a litter of starving abandoned pups.

Animals both at our side and in the wild can interact with us at times of trouble and provide us with a miracle when we need it most.
