A Loyal Companion
 

 
 A hiker on the Lanipo Trail in Kaimuki, Hawaii, called 911 after seeing an unaccompanied dog barking at the edge of a steep slope. After getting the dog to safety, rescuers noticed something else — a bag filled with personal items about 70 feet below where the dog was found. Responders on the ground who were caring for the dog found a name and contact information for its owner on its collar. When their call went unanswered, local police performed a welfare check and found no one was home, indicating something was wrong. Sure enough, further down the slope underneath thick foliage, rescuers found a 35-year-old woman — the owner of the dog that provided some loyal lung power — who had taken a fall during a hike. The crew loaded her onto a rescue stretcher and airlifted her to safety.

I hesitated  whether to post this message, or not? I woke up this morning to this message from WonderWoman. She said ...

"Jordan got this message yesterday." ❤️


I messaged WW that I cried while reading. I had hesitated because it's kinda personal, but it is so positive. And I think the people who take the time to write a message are a higher grade of human than some of us.

Found this in the www quite some time ago:

Happiness is
when you realize
that your kids
have turned out to be good people.

Thanks John, I used it mainly for the skies and then took down the brightness.
