Saving Dogs Before They Go to the Bridge and Beyond

 

I am sure the humans who run puppy mills think they are very clever. Many of them never get caught and reap the rewards of their ill-doings. Then they cross over, anticipating a thousand singing angels will meet them. Instead, they are met, but the dogs they abused for profits. The backyard breeders will serve as the dogs' minions for a year until they have been with all the dogs they hurt. For some, it could be hundreds of years.

Dogs in puppy mills don't know life outside of their cages, but one, Reese, a sweet cocker spaniel, dreamed and prayed for a better life. While I am the bringer of miracles, the only way to get them from their horrible lives was to try and find good homes for them. But, Reese did not have that option. She was going to be a breeder dog. Jordan has told me about that life. It is hideous. I would have to get creative to rescue Reese.

I have vowed never to harm a dog, but sometimes you have to do evil to achieve a good outcome. I told the dark angels to make Reese sick with parvo, which they were more than pleased to do. The best result was that he would be taken to the vet; the worse was that he would arrive here, out of the mill, where I could find a good angel mom for him.

Her tormentor realized she would not be profitable to keep and brought her to the vet to be sent to the Bridge. The man who surrendered her was asked if he wanted to stay, and he declined, then departed. Dr. Judd knew what the man did to make money and had put down too many of his dogs. Plus, he saw something in Reese's eyes that said he didn't want to go.

It took round-the-clock care, and someone had to volunteer with Reese overnight, but after a week, Reese began to improve, and during the next two days, Reese recovered and was now ready for a new home.

The vet hopes that putting his story online will inspire a family to come forward and help Reese forget his past and have a fantastic future as a precious part of a family.  

I monitor the process so I don't have to intervene again. I don't think I can get another dog sick, even though the Bridge is better than being trapped at a puppy farm.
