Rescue on the freeway
When a small dog is suddenly struck on a busy freeway, prayer comes to the rescue.
A couple of years ago on a Sunday morning, a friend and I were on our way to church. It was raining, and as we were driving on a highway interchange ramp, we saw the truck in front of us swerve suddenly to avoid hitting something in the road. A moment later, my friend and I realized with horror that the truck had not swerved enough and had struck a small dog.
I remember crying out, “No!” My friend immediately pulled the car over to the shoulder of the ramp. I jumped out and flagged down the cars that were coming behind us so no one else would hit the dog. Then I scooped him up in my arms and jumped back into the car.
