Dear Editor:
On June 1 we had to deal with the dreaded day of pet ownership. We were facing putting down our 12-year-old Aussie shepherd.
As we waited for the vet to return to the clinic at Parkgate, an angel named Rebecca approached us. She asked if our dog was having issues? She was very respectful of the situation and asked if she could pat Cooper.
While patting Cooper she was reassuring and said she was sure everything was going to be OK. She then asked if she could pray for Cooper and the two of us. She prayed over Cooper while holding our hands. She hugged us and left as quick as she had appeared.
We just wanted to thank Rebecca for being there for Cooper, my wife and I. You were selfless and gave of yourself in a way that we have never experienced. Cooper ultimately was put down an hour later but the calm that we had felt after Rebecca’s visit carried through to the end.
God bless you, Rebecca, and thank you for stepping in when we needed it most.
Nigel Walker, North Vancouver
