Flame of Blessings

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:>>>>>>>:>,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, of late, a solitary fireman’s sedate, sad sobs sought some balm for his own dreadful sighs, missing the “arffs” of a terrier he so adored his eyes slept alone on nights deep in aching ardor… till he was summoned and exposed to a blazing untamed flame, raging a tower wired in wild hazing. in one giant flash of courage, he threw himself unto screams of canine thunder. then, a fainting spell. a whisked escape… brave smoke fighter gradually revived from blinks of quick stupor by warm licks lapping his ashen skin. accepting tender scratches of mommy dog’s paws, the flapping ears of puppies awakened his kindred desire… as he gazed into a gauze of grateful reverie , hounds clung to his belly as if he were a daddy pooch leading a lost pack, now orphaned from dreadful calamity, yet his rare touch dissolved tiny pups’ grating anxiety… a blessing poured from all this catastrophe… fireman was awarded three doggies’ full custody. for gratitude is known as a prize for risking one’s life; the bliss of God’s gift bestowed on a man and his new family… ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (( for Joyce Johnson's " Doggy Gratitude" Contest ))

Indeed, what better reward could there be than such gratitude as a loving kiss for the saved mama dog, and ...then 3 doggies of his own! What a happy ending!! well done!
