Many years ago, a lady acquired a young Husky-chow. They very quickly
bonded. The lady has MS and spends her time in an electric wheelchair.
Lucky learned to watch his feet as he accompanied his lady on walks.

One day the lady had to go the corner market and left Lucky chained in
the backyard. As she wheeled along the sidewalk, a mean dog attacked
her, biting and tried to drag her out of her chair. Lucky saw this and
went berserk. He broke his chain and went to protect his lady. He
attacked the dog and drove it off. He received lots of loving and from
then on, he made it his business to take care of his lady.

When he gets to come in the house, he sniffs all over the lady,
unerringly licking a sore shoulder or other body part not up to par.
Then he lies on the bed with her and they both take a nap. With that
protection, then Papa can leave to run errands.

Sometimes the lady feels too bad to go outside with her son to play
with Lucky. Then she sits at the window and speaks to him. He will
play awhile and then come to the window and they will speak to each
other and then Lucky will go back to playing satisfied his lady is ok.

A few times the lady has had an attack of her illness and had to call
the ambulance. Each time Lucky knows she is ill and breaks his chain
and tries to get in the ambulance with her. The family has to hold him
close and reassure him. When the lady comes home Lucky comes in and
spends the evening with her, letting everyone know he is on the job
protecting her.

Lucky is old now and the vet says he hasn't long to live. But that is
ok; the lady doesn't have long to live, either. I don't know which one
will go first; but the other won't be far behind. Their love is such
that neither could continue alone. I truly believe this dog was sent
by Heaven to take care of this special lady. No matter how ill she is
she is always thinking of others and providing help and inspiration.
