Valerie and her sweet dog
St. Anthony will always be so special to me!
I remember growing up and hearing (in Italian) prayers for St. Anthony to help find lost items. My prayers were a bit different, I prayed for a very sick dog. You see, I adopted/rescued a German shepherd/Swiss Shepherd mixed dog. I needed her and she needed me… the beginning of our story. Then out of the blue she became very, very ill. From local vets to a specialty vet hospital a good distance from home, we were told it was advanced liver disease and her chances weren’t good.
She'd had a very rough life and was such a sweet girl. I just couldn’t bear the thought of her not knowing a good life and love. But after much effort by the hospital (and more money than I had) they said it was time for that conversation.
NO! I refused and instead prayed to my St. Anthony, my benefactor and with his aid my girl is still with me 2 years later!!!
Never, never doubt St. Anthony’s great love and power. Thank you St. Anthony with all my heart.
Valerie
