"Even my dog ​​understood that there is God in the Church" by Viviana Maria Rispoli

I want to tell you an incredible story that happened to me many years ago but that I remember as if it happened yesterday I was so impressed 'I lived even then in the rectory of a church and I had a black dog that had given birth to five puppies, one more beautiful than the other- When they were already weaned I accepted the proposal to give them to an animal-loving lady so that she could give them to good people who wanted them. When the lady came to get them I took advantage of a moment of distraction of my dog ​​to take the puppies and give them to him. I certainly did not imagine that shortly thereafter I would witness a very painful but also very illuminating scene. My dog ​​started looking for her puppies like a madwoman, she was looking and yelping, yelping and looking everywhere in the garden, behind the house, in the house, I was suffering with her and I gave myself some idiot for not having thought of leaving her at least one. Shortly after this heartbreaking scene I went to church and found it there, right in front of the altar, it had never entered the church but I didn't notice it, I picked it up and put it out, the huge amazement I had instead when I found it in church in the same place, a little later. I felt like crying, my dog ​​had understood that only in that place could she find consolation for her pain. Many people still don't understand it. And they call them animals.
