My son brought home a dirty stray dog. He and his little sister were delighted with this sack of fleas. I didn’t want this dog to stay in the house and tried to kick it out of the house. But the children watched me with fear in their eyes, so I couldn’t do it. My husband and I bathed this dog and bought it an anti-flea collar. The dog turned out to be very affectionate so we don’t regret to foster it. We thank Saint Francis for sending us this dog.

When my cat got older he became grumpy. One day I took two kittens from the street and brought them home. My cat of course was totally indifferent to them, but then they started playing and became good friends. My cat even seemed younger. I thank Saint Francis whom I always prayed for my cat’s health.
