August 31 – A very smart dog!

George is a dopey two year old Bassett hound from West Yorkshire, UK. But George became tangled in a phone cord at home and wound up with it wrapped around his neck. Somehow George managed to dial 999, the British equivalent of 911. The emergency operator heard gasping on the other end and alerted the authorities, who entered the house. They saw the dog choking, and ripped the cord from the phone to save him. A neighbor said, “Incredibly you could see his paw print on the phone to ring 999. He literally saved his own life.” Only a dog, but it had sense enough to call for help. Strange isn’t it that many people, though in desperate need of God in their lives are in denial, and never reach out for help. God, in the Bible, urges “Call to me and I will answer, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” He is there!
