I Like This!


The family dog had gone missing for a day and a half. They searched every inch of their neighborhood without any success. On the evening of the second night the family found their dog. Where, you might ask?

He was found under a bridge curled up beside an infant child who was left abandoned. I have probably blogged about dogs at least 20 times and for good reason. They are truly one of the greatest creatures God has created.
If your looking for a great story on the faithfulness of dogs, go to my archives and click on August 2011 for a post on the  amazing story of Hachiko.

You are six years old, you have $3.36 in your piggy bank, what are you gonna spend it on?

For a young New York Giants fan named Joseph, that $3.36 in cash was sent to Brandon Jacobs with a letter asking him to stay with the Super Bowl Champions. It was a little too late though, as Jacobs went on to sign with a different team. But it was all for naught! Brandon Jacobs was so touched by the offer from the little guy that he decided to give his biggest little fan a great offer: tickets to the Giants game in September against Jacobs new team, the San Francisco 49'ers, and Brandon will hang out with the kid for a day.
I love it when professional athletes do something great for their real fans.

The horse I'll Have Another was 1 win away from the Triple Crown. The day before the big event that had he won would've been a part of history, was instead retired and put to pasture. He had some minor ligament damage to one of his ankles, even though he did do some practice runs on the track the day before the race. I applaud the owners for looking to the actual health of the horse before looking at the millions of dollars he would have pulled in for them.

Some feel good stories to brighten your day. Hope it worked!
