I couldn't believe after reading the first few heartbreaking sentences about "The Perfect Dog" that I would be crying....tears of joy!!! Oh, by the grace of God, these two beautiful, deserving souls have found each other. It really does reaffirm your faith in human beings.

The story especially captured my heart, for I know myself, the wonder of a dog named Star. When I lost my beloved Jingles, my lab of a lifetime, 3 years ago, I was inconsolable. A friend told me as well, that at the moment of her passing, my Jingles became a heavenly star, sending down her spirit to a newborn pup somewhere on earth. One month later, my friend, knowing how desperately I missed her, but how hesitant I was to adopt another dog, called me and said, "I have a surprise for you." She drove me to a home nearby, where I was introduced to the most beautiful litter of yellow lab puppies. "Precious," I said. "But I'm not ready." "Just listen," she said. It was then that the woman told me that just as they were about to leave for a Labor Day picnic, their dog Bailey went into labor. The first pup was born at 5pm. She remembered this was the exact time as she looked at her watch and said, "Ut oh, it's 5pm..No party tonight!" Sept. 5, 5pm,....The exact minute of the same day my Jingles left for the Bridge. I truly believe my Jing sent down from above her heavenly spirit and soul and that it was reborn in this pup, my lab, I call Star.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that this magnificent creature and this loving woman found each other. Thank you to all the incredibly special, caring people who came to her rescue. I still can't believe this had such a wonderful, happy ending!!!! Star, you're safe now. And more important, you are LOVED AND WANTED AT LAST!!!!!
