Ever realize that “dog” is just “god” spelled backwards? Maybe it’s because these pups have so much good and love in them that there’s no doubting that they’re all sent from above.
Whatever the case, these precious pooches have our hearts – and sometimes they show up in unexpected places to grace us with their presence.
In a church at the Nossa Senhora das Dores parish in Brazil, Father José Geraldo Sobreira was attempting to focus on conducted and leading mass one day this month when a pup ambled right on in. The pup was very energetic and happy, clearly thrilled to be among so many people. His tail wouldn’t stop wagging as he made his way right up to Sobreira.
Now, Sobreira could have easily shooed the pup away or removed it from the building, but instead, he reacted with kindness. He welcomed the pup with open arms, and before long, the cute dog was at the priest’s feet, rolling around in enthusiasm and begging for pets, love, and attention. He wouldn’t stop kissing every bit of Sobreira that he could reach!
No one’s really sure who the pup is or how he wound up inside the church, but many people believe that his visit was no mistake. Perhaps he was sent as a gift to cheer everyone up from more divine forces! Many members of the congregation – and even more people who have seen a video of the adorable encounter online – seem to believe so!
The pup is now being referred to as a four-pawed angel, and many people are praising Sobreira for his sweet, loving reaction towards the pup. Maybe he’ll visit again sometime in the near future!
