Lidia Elizabeth Reyes Cespedes, an animal rescue worker from Chile, told a touching story. As she laid down her beloved old dog Viejito to sleep, a strange puppy showed up.
Cespedes took care of and loved Viejito, whose name means “Little Old Man,” for a year. Cespedes loved him even though he never found a stable family.
Cespedes heard crying while he was burying Viejito. A puppy came out and seemed to know her.
Cespedes said, “This puppy ran up to me like an old friend.”
The puppy did nothing but watch Cespedes dig Viejito’s grave.
“She laid down, observing what we did.”
The puppy rested on Viejito’s mound after being buried.
Cespedes thinks that he was left alone, but his friends think that God was involved.
“Viejito sent you another angel,” one said.
Cespedes gave the puppy the name Nube and made her part of her foster pack.
Cespedes said, “Nube is now well taken care of.”
Cespedes wants to find Nube a permanent home so he can give her the love Viejito did not get.
