angel memories

When my girls were quite small - about 4 and 2 - we lived in Oakland in Navy housing. We had to go across a 5 lane major hiway and walk about 3 1/2 blocks to the housing office to pay the rent. One day, as we were walking, a huge Boxer dog came to us. I determined that since I had 2 small children with me I wouldn't really pay him much attention and so walked on. He ranged from one side of me to the other but stayed fairly close. As we went along there was a car with 2 men in it parked where we had to pass by - it went on down the block and around a corner and then stopped there where we would have to go past it again - this happened 2 times and then I was at the housing office and went in to pay my bill. When I looked out, the car had moved but was still there and I remember thinking that the dog would be gone and regreting it. However, when I stepped out of the office here was the dog and he walked with me, still ranging back and forth. The car went on til we were almost to the highway and then it stopped where I would have to go past it again. I decided to turn down the block and go a different way and the car backed up and started to follow me. The dog, beautiful big guy that he was, came and walked RIGHT beside me. Needless to say the car and occupants left me alone! The dog (angel) took me right to my door, sniffed around to be sure it was ok and then left. I thanked him profusely as you can imagine. Angels come in all forms and I am grateful for them all.
