A Boy and His Dog

Yesterday was not an easy day. In fact it was downright hard. We are dealing with budget cuts (all of education is) and the middle school students are at heathen level. Spring Break cannot come soon enough.
God must have known. An incredible moment was given to us.
About a week and a half ago, a young man at our school posted on Facebook his dog was missing. He continued to post and to look. All his family was looking. They lived in the country and were beginning to fear the worst.
Yesterday the boy's mom called and asked to have her son meet her outside the school. She had found the dog. He had traveled to a farm near Hudson and the farmer took him to the vet the next time he went to the big city. It just happened be the vet this dog was used to.
So chain of events led the vet to call the mom and the mom calling us. She wanted to bring the dog to the school to see the boy.
Well, we all wanted to see this reunion, so she brought the dog inside and we called the boy to the office.
Four women and a dog waited. It was worth the wait. The look on the boy's face and the reaction of the dog was worthy of a movie and hanky moment. All were weeping. The dog had it's paws around the boy's neck and the boy was ecstatic. They had each other again.
