A Canine Love Story

“You don’t know what unconditional love is.

You may say that you do,

But if you don’t have a dog,

You don’t know what it is.”

 

Author Unknown

 

 

Music: Love Is A Many Splendored Thing

 

 

Dogs still continue to amaze me

I learn so many things from canines

This is a story of Unconditional Love

That to me is both wondrous and divine

 

The two dogs above were both homeless strays

Who had met, and bonded, and traveled together

And before very long, the female became pregnant

They were rounded up, and taken to a shelter together

 

Jade the female, eventually gave birth to six puppies

And Ben the male, was eventually adopted by a family

But Ben’s canine heart, already belonged to his true love

He ran away from his new home, and embarked on a journey

 

Ben now traveled through a winter snow storm, well over ten miles

Right back to the animal shelter, to be by the side, of his beloved mate

The shelter staff were all amazed, as was the family that had adopted Ben

So they've now adopted both dogs – a truly happy ending for both Ben and Jade

 

 

“You don’t know what unconditional love is.

You may say that you do,

But if you don’t have a dog,

You don’t know what it is.”

Absolutely loved this story with such a happy ending. I find the nature of dogs to be amazing and would love to know what goes on in their mind at times. I am personally drawn to German Shepherds. I have had three--two females (Sheba and Greta) and one male (Beau). Sheba was a wild child, Greta was a sweetheart, and Beau was quiet and reserved. I am a Vietnam Veteran and appreciate the fact that you are a veterans' advocate. I have only begun to read your work, but I must say that I am quite impressed with the number of pieces you have amassed. I simply cannot comprehend how you find the time to do it all. Take care, Mr. Ed. I will return to your site as time permits.

If only we humans had such innate respect for loyalty and truth. Saw this in this morning's news and thought of you. Bang. There you are, giving the story further exposure.

Wow!

We have to look at this as a miracle!
How can a dog find his lover in the middle of winter 10 miles away?
God gave him a heart of gold.
What a GREAT ending!

God bless you brother Ed!

If only humans were not so self-absorbed. We could learn so much from just these two alone.
I am so pleased they had a happy outcome - long may it continue for them.
