A Christmas Wish: How a Dog Transformed a Man's Life
I don't know if dogs go to heaven or not, but if Mary and Becky Cross taught me anything, it's that prayers have never hurt a single thing.
Imagine your peaceful morning routine being upended by an unexpected guest. In this heartwarming episode of 'The Last Storyteller', Jim Hirtle shares a touching Christmas story about a man who never wanted a pet, and how a dog named Wish changed everything. The man's porch was his sanctuary, a place where he could sip his coffee and enjoy the morning sky. But one day, his wife brought home a dog, and his tranquil life turned into chaos.
Initially, he thought pets were for people trying to fill an empty spot in their lives. However, Wish soon filled a void in his heart that he didn't even know existed. Through the dog's love, loyalty, and forgiveness, the man learned valuable life lessons. When Wish passed away, the man buried him on the north end of the field, unsure if dogs go to heaven but hopeful through prayer.
This tale is a poignant reminder that love comes in many forms and can change us in ways we never imagined. It's a story that delves into family, traditions, faith, memories, grief, and hope. Perfect for the festive season, this episode will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the magic of Christmas. Take a moment to appreciate the people and pets in your life and remember that wishes can come true.
