My husband and I were busy with household chores and left our four-year-old, paralyzed son with our Doberman, Tara 😲😲 Who could have thought what would happen half an hour later
At first, our child and the dog played happily together, but after a few minutes, we heard loud, terrifying barking.
My husband and I rushed outside in a panic, thinking the worst, fearing Tara had hurt our son, but what we saw shocked us to the core…
Our son was born with a severe diagnosis – a disability related to the musculoskeletal system. Until he was three years old, he couldn’t walk.
Doctors said there was a minimal chance that he would ever get up, but we held on to that hope with all our strength.
Every day we prayed, watching him crawl around the house, seeing him longingly watch other children outside. He had no one to play with – his peers didn’t understand his condition, and we, the adults, couldn’t replace a real friend.
That’s when we decided to get a dog. We wanted him to have at least one real friend. We chose a Doberman from the shelter. We named her Tara.
At first, Tara kept her distance. She avoided us and especially stayed away from our son. We thought we had made a mistake. But then everything changed.
Tara began to approach the boy, lie next to him, let him touch her face, and bring him toys. They became friends. They were inseparable.
We, the parents, sighed in relief for the first time in a long while. The boy smiled, laughed – and all thanks to this dog. We trusted Tara so much that we would leave them alone in the yard while we took care of household chores.
And then one day…
A piercing, heart-wrenching bark shook the house. It was so loud that we thought our hearts stopped. We rushed outside in a panic, thinking the worst. We were afraid Tara had hurt our son. But what we saw stunned us to the core.
Our four-year-old son was standing. HE WAS STANDING, holding onto the stroller. His knees were trembling, his hands tightly gripping the handles, and beside him stood Tara, barking – as if calling us, as if shouting, “Look! Look what he has achieved!”
I started crying. We both rushed to our son. He looked at us with fear, but in his eyes, there was something new – confidence, strength.
It was a real miracle.
