It was a little over two years
ago and we had recently lost our two pet dogs within a short time. One
was aged fifteen, the other twelve. We decided to give an unwanted dog a
home as we greatly missed our two pets. On enquiry at a local dog’s
home we were given a list of available dogs. As an afterthought we were
told ‘Then there is poor Emma…’ I asked if ‘poor Emma’ was also a dog,
and was told she was.
“As soon
as we saw Emma I knew she was special. Her hindquarters were very weak.
She seemed terrified to move. We were told she had been very badly
treated by her previous owner. She could not eat, and hardly lapped up
milk – but we took her home with us.
“In due
course of time she became a beautiful dog, physically. Mentally,
however, the scars remained. If we had to leave her in the house she
went hysterical, and would tear furniture, carpets, and even doors to
pieces. Loud noises terrified her.
“We did
everything possible for her and gave her all the love we could. But it
seemed to no avail. She was so psychologically damaged that two years
later we have to have her put to sleep.
“We were
heartbroken. That night I mentally called Sai Baba and asked Him to let
us know in some way if her tormented mind was healed. I fell asleep.
“Sometime
later I became aware of a feeling like electricity flowing in the room.
I then saw Sai Baba standing there with my dog by His side. He spoke
softly to her and she ran to me, then back to His side. He spoke to her
again, and this time she sat in front of me and I stroked her.
“I gazed
into her eyes and she looked completely calm. After stroking her I
noticed all the previous nervousness seemed to have disappeared. Sai
Baba just smiled. Then He and the dog disappeared.”
Jean
adds: “When I had tried to mentally contact Baba before, He had always
replied. I am at first awoken by a feeling like waves of mild
electricity flooding the room. Also He has provided the complete answer
to whatever problem I am asking about. From these experiences I became
convinced of His omnipresence and His great compassion.”
