Miracle’s life story By Carol Law (Canada) October 24/2008~~July 11/2016 Thank you Lord God for giving us Miracle for almost 8 years “ MACAROLS MIRACLE OF GOD “ I felt compelled in my heart to write and share “MIRACLE’S” Life~ All of our Bulldogs are more than “Special” to Mac and Im but on October 24/2008, something unimaginable to us happened, and we never could have imagined how one wee baby puppy girl, would come to stamp our hearts with so, so much love, strength, and vigour, and give us the eyes to see just how God does Miracles still today! Miracle was one of 3 babies in this litter of Miss Kitty’s, but sadly her intestines were born totally outside of her wee body. Dave, my phenomenal bulldog vet took it upon himself to try something he had never tried before, and that was to put back her intestines inside her little body, it took all of an hour with a wee fighter, that Miracle was, screaming the whole time, Mac had to leave the room, as our other vet continued to stitch back up Miss Kitty after her C-section. Later our vet told us when I brought her back in for a check up, that he only gave Miracle a 5% chance of survival as we left the clinic that day, bacterial infection setting in was a Major concern!! I got her home and mothered her like only a mother could, cleaning her stitches ever so carefully, getting antibiotics into her, and I prayed and prayed for many days~ each new morning, for this wee girls survival! I told God that if He would spare this baby puppy’s life I would name her“ Miracle “ and on her CKC Reg. papers , she would be called “ Macarols Miracle Of God “and she was!!! ,

Miracle’s life story
PRAISE JESUS!! He and HE alone brought her through this!! My vet could not believe she made it!!! She was a fighter for life to live with us, and she was given the strongest legs that could run like a deer and jump 4 FT fences all the time!!!! Just WOW, so healthy she was now!!! We were totally amazed by her strength and intelligence too, she seemed to know every word one said to her!! Just so, so awesome, and she climbed up stairs like a human climbing up a ladder, one foot/limb at a time, so unusual to see in a dog!!! So life was so great with our wee girl, and she became Mac’s pride and Joy~~ you would never find Mac anywhere without his Miracle, always truck riding together!!! :) They were bonded for life now and forever- even into eternity-I know. I must tell you why we knew she would go home soon to her Creator God in Heaven, One morning Mac came down stairs and looked at me sadly saying I had a dream about Miracle last night so real. Nnow bear in mind, this was about 8 months ago now, long before she was given her new diagnosis 3 months ago. Here is Mac’s dream: Mac told me in his dream Miracle was with two Angels, and Miracle was all aglow!! The one Angel spoke to Mac and said “ Miracle will soon have to come home, she actually belongs to us, and she was given to you only on loan, so please know that soon she will come back home to us . “ Mac was crying when he told me his dream, and now we know for certain that God was giving us a time to prepare for her passing from this earth she was diagnosed with “Laryngeal Paralysis” a paralyzing of the vocal cords, we all need them to be moving constant in order to breathe and eat/swallow. Miracle left us for her Forever Joyful Home on July 11/2016 at 11:55 AM ~~ This was the hardest decision for Mac and I to make.

Miracle’s life story
But running free and breathing beautifully now , once again, we just could not want her to remain here with us like that. We cannot wait to be with her once again~for always - FOREVER I wanted to share this - Miracle’s Life Story, so that all of you may know for certain, there is a Heaven and not just for us, but for ALL of God’s beautiful Creation, meaning our pets too!! But our Hearts will remain so hurt and sad without our Miracle for such a long time still until we will meet once again. “ ALL CREATION ANTICIPATES THE DAY WHEN IT WILL JOIN WITH GOD’S CHILDREN IN GLORIOUS FREEDOM FROM DEATH AND DECAY . “ ROMANS 8:21 Thank you for reading Miracle’s Life Story. God Bless you all my friends - love you ALL - and please know that all of our babies are our family, we love them all so much, but sometimes there comes along one, that is just so unsurpassable in ALL ways, Miracle was never shown at a Dog Show, never had babies, she was spayed at 4 months after having to have another surgery on her belly, as the intestines started to protrude again, but oh my gosh, she was our amazing precious Miracle of God, and we could never have asked for a more Beautiful Bulldog ever!! Her Sister is BEAUTIFUL “Celine” and her brother so Handsome ~ “ MBPIS CH Macarols N Crus Mighty Sampson “ NO. 2 Bulldog in Canada in 2010!! Such a Beautiful, Gorgeous litter!! Mac and I Thank you Forever Our Lord God Carol
