Angel at the Post Office Responds to Young Girl’s Heartfelt Letter After Loss of Beloved Dog
January 20, 2018
When the Scrivener family lost Abbey, their much beloved 14-year-old dog to liver cancer, it affected their 4-year-old Meredith deeply. She approached her parents with pen and paper and said that she wanted to write a letter to God.
With the help of her mother, Joy, Meredith wrote the letter and together they mailed it off at their neighborhood’s post office in Brook Hollow, Texas. The letter was addressed “To: God in Heaven,” and included the family’s return address and some photos of Abbey, so God would recognize her. Meredith added extra stamps to the letter, given the distance it had to go.
Two weeks later the family returned home to find a gold-wrapped package on their front porch. The mysterious package was addressed to Meredith and signed ‘God, and one of his special angels’.
When Meredith opened the package, inside was the Fred Rogers book When a Pet Dies and a response to her letter on pink paper and Abbey’s photos attached. Joy originally shared her story with the San Antonio Express-News.
Here is Meredith’s letter and the reply she received:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of our dog, Abbey? She died yesterday and she is in heaven now. We hope that Abbey is OK now and that she isn’t sick anymore. We love you for letting us have Abbey even though she died. We are sending pictures of Abbey in the little envelopes so that you can see what she looks like and you will know her when you see her.
Love, Meredith Claire.
PS: Mommy wrote it after Mer told her the words.
The Rely:
Dear Meredith,
I know you will be happy to know that Abbey arrived safely and soundly in Heaven. Having the picture you sent was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.
You know, Mer, she isn’t sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me, just like it stays in your heart – young and running and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you know. Since we don’t need our bodies in Heaven, I don’t have any pockets, so I am sending your beautiful letter back with the pictures so you will have this little memory book to keep.
Thank you for your beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending it. What a wonderful mother you have; I picked her just for you.
God, and one of his special angels who wrote this letter after God told her the words.”
Meredith’s parents were surprised and deeply touched that someone took the care to help ease Meredith’s grief at losing Abbey. Joy later told United Methodist Reporter that Meredith was not at all stunned liker her parents were upon receiving a response to her letter. “When she received the package, she was happy, but she wasn’t surprised,” Joy said. “There was no doubt in Meredith’s mind that her letter was going to heaven.”
Meredith’s letter was written in 2006. Meredith is “doing great” and “still has a big heart for animals” according to her mom. She and her family have two new canine friends in the home with a collie and a terrier.
And Meredith and her angel’s exchange of letters continue to be shared online, touching many with its simple message of kindness and love.

Abandoned Mama Dog Fought To Keep Her 12 Puppies Alive Beside A Creek Until Help Finally Arrived

June 8, 2026
Alone beside a wooded creek in rural Tennessee, a brave mama dog was doing everything she could to keep her 12 newborn puppies alive.
Abandoned and with no one to care for them, she carried the enormous burden herself, protecting and feeding her babies with whatever she could find. But life on her own was taking its toll.
When local dog rescuer Sarah Kodad heard about the little family, she knew she had to help.
“[I felt] sad and angry that another dog had been dumped,” Kodad told the Dodo. “They’re such loyal companions, who give their all for their humans or families. It’s not fair for them to be tossed away or mistreated.”
Kodad tracked the mama’s movements through the area, hoping she would lead her to the puppies. When she finally found them, her heart sank. One of the puppies had already died.

She gently gathered the grieving mama and her 11 surviving babies into her car and immediately began searching for a safe place for them to go.
Rubies and Rogues
“No more worrying about your babies, momma,” Kodad wrote after the rescue. “No more pregnancies … no more struggling to survive.”
The sweet dog, originally named Fig, blossomed in foster care as her puppies continued to thrive.
Then, hundreds of miles away in Colorado, a man named Joel saw her photo and read her story.
Joel had recently lost his own beloved dog, and something about this devoted mama touched his heart. He applied to adopt her and, after being approved, patiently waited more than a month until her puppies were weaned and she had recovered from her spay surgery.
Finally, the day arrived.
Joel made the long drive to Tennessee to bring her home, and according to Rubies and Rogues, it was a match made in heaven. He picked her up straight from her spay appointment, and she looked more than ready to start the next chapter of her life.
Now known as Gabbie, the former stray mama is living her best life in Colorado with her new dad. She spends her days surrounded by love instead of worry, trading survival for adventure in the mountains near Keystone Resort.
After everything she endured to protect her puppies, it’s hard not to smile seeing her now—safe, cherished, and finally getting the happy ending she always deserved.

Dog Found Unconscious in a Field Makes Beautiful Recovery
When rescuers first arrived to help a stray dog they named Angela, she was lying motionless in a muddy field.
“We got a call reporting that a dog had been found lying in water in a field, unconscious,” Animal Aid Unlimited, India wrote. “She had a deep wound by her tail and a laceration on her face. We rushed her back to Animal Aid’s hospital where we started treating her traumatic head injury.”
Angela had suffered a severe blow to the head and had brain damage as a result. A week after her emergency surgery she took her first wobbly steps, but she couldn’t stand or walk on her own.
But rescuers refused to give up on her, despite this heartbreaking setback. And after 2 months of treatment and loving care, Angela’s recovery is incredible to see.

April 28, 2015
Now that the summer season is in full swing, walking with your dog requires a few extra precautions to keep them safe and healthy. Practically every pet parent knows the rule about not leaving your dog in the a hot vehicle, but not as many know the damage that hot asphalt, pavement or even sand, can wreak on a dog’s paws.
The air temperature doesn’t have to be excessively hot to burn a dog’s skin. The air temperature only has to be 77 F for the asphalt to be 125 F, and at 125 degrees, skin destruction can occur in just 60 seconds!
Hot pavement can cause painful blisters, welts or severe burns on a dog’s feet and lead to health complications like infections.
