Patloo

I recently went to see Prema Akka in their family friends house as she wasn't feeling well at that time. I have went once to their house earlier and they used to have 3 pet dogs they were little big compared to the pug I have in my home. When I was talking with Akka suddenly one dog came near me, I patted it and it was there for few mins and went out. After 10 or 15 mins that owner of the house that akka came and said that door was left open and one dog went missing. First I couldn't process what she was saying, I said to her just 10 mins before a dog came to me and It was playing with me for few seconds and left. She may would have thought I was just saying, just to pacify her. I was able to feel her sadness as she was all alone and the pets are like family for her and akka was saying that this dog is very close to her and she was also fond of that pet and this will be with her all the time. We both walked to the end of that street and we couldn't find it, I asked her I'll go check and see if I could find her. She said that’s fine leave it, as she also didn't want to bother me. But for some reason I was so burdened, cos I also have pet Pug which is like a kid in our home and it will be the same for her and I know what it means to be missing the one thing what you love. I asked her whats the name of the pet and she said Patloo. I had hardly come twice to their home and I don't even remember the breed or how it looks like. Just a few seconds it was near me when it was playing with me in the room and I patted it. I kept walking street by street. Almost 2 or three streets have gone by I don't see any traces of any dog. I don't know what to do at that point. I said a small prayer Lord it may sound very silly or stupid but I don't know what to do Pls help to find the pet take me to where it is as that Akka will be also upset missing their only source of happiness. As I prayed and was walking I felt a small whisper from the Lord saying go further not this road go next. I kept walking and walking further the end of the road and took a left and there I saw a dog on the road. I wasn't sure whether it’s the same one which I was searching for as I had just seen for few seconds I don't know. I took a photo and tried calling Annan as I wasn't having her phone number either to confirm whether its their dog. Annan was also not answering as he was also away at that time. I went near to it and called Patloo, it didn't even respond. I don't know what to do, I just took the photo and took the google map location and was about to leave to go home and inform them and if it’s the same I can ask them to come here. When I was about to leave still I called Patloo it wasn't responding, so I don't know what to do. Suddenly three to four dogs from that location started to bark at this dog and was trying to approach to attack. Then I thought may be its not from that location or its Patloo. I called patloo come follow me and started walking it started to follow me for 2 or three steps and stop again. I couldn't able to guess whether its really following me whether it is Patloo or cos of the fear from other dogs its following me. I kept repeating its name and asking it to follow me it started to kept walking and following me. At one point when the other dogs werent there it started to run on the middle of the road and one van almost would have hit it, it stopped I kept calling it and again it started walking and following me. Then another 2 or three more streets left, again another set of dogs started barking seeing me protecting it and Patloo kept following me. As soon as we entered their street, it ran fast and it went into their home. As soon as I informed that Akka she couldn't believe at first. Cos the location I showed it almost would have crossed nearly 1.5 to 2Kms. I still couldn't believe couple of things, how the dog played with me just for few seconds recognized me and followed my instructions cos I know how difficult that it is. Though we have our pug we never leave it outside so it gets so excited and it leaves or goes out it never listens to any instructions and will try to run further away. Though having the pug for almost 8 years still won't listen to instruction and obey whereas a pet met just for few seconds would listen to instructions and follow. That Akka was saying she was more worried cos it had cataract on both eyes and can't see that even blew my mind. It was a very good experience and a new learning. It doesn't matter how small or silly prayers may be God still answers our silly prayers as well. Not only that are we ready to listen to his small whispers, sometime we are more concerned or waiting to hear the Loud voice of God in our lives but God is ready to speak to us in little whispers in every small things of our lives as well but are we ready to listen. When we believe and ask Him and if He whispers and if we Obey even the things which never could be made possible will also happen in ways which we cannot even think or dream of.
