There was a pair of angry dogs living near our house. When we tried to go out they attacked us. We didn’t know what to do. We felt like prisoners in our own house. We prayed to Saint Quiteria for help. Thanks to her the dogs left us in peace and went to live to another neighborhood, near don Refugio’s house. We thank for that.

An extraterrestrial landed near our house and began to hypnotize my son in order to abduct him. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe our dog began bark. It distracted the extraterrestrial, and my son was able to run into the house. And the extraterrestrial took only a hypnotized chicken.

The detective Roberto Chavez is a big animal lover. He thanks Saint Anthony the Great for conducting his investigation and catching a gang that organized underground dog fights.

I have four cats, and my fiancé has five dogs. When we got married and moved together, no one wanted to abandon their pets. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for the miracle that all our cats and dogs don’t fight and even became friends.

My son Luis loves the dogs. One day he leant out to look at one on the street and fell on the had of a man who was passing by. Luckily this man, although he was hit by my boy, could catch him. I thank the Virgin of San Juan. And we’re going to buy a puppy for Luis, so he wouldn’t fall watching dogs.

My son Andres fell in the laguna and drowned to the bottom. I was desperate because I can’t swim. But the Virgin of Zapopan sent a dog that got in the water and saved my boy. I thank the Virgin.

One night some martians landed on my farm. They got in my bedroom through the window. I thank the Virgin of San Juan for they didn’t abduct me for their experiments, nor did they take my dog that didn’t even wake up. One of my slippers is all they took, and they seemed to be very interested in it.

My daughter Lupita was very sick and had a long recovery. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe and my daughter’s Guardian angel who looked after her. They kept her beloved pets by her side, and with their company my daughter got recovered much easier.

The Death in person came to my bedroom. Horrified, I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that she’d scare the Death away. The Holy Virgin gave courage to my dogs, and they attacked the Death. The Death disappeared without taking me with it. I thank the Holy Virgin.

I went to the market to buy some oranges. On my way back I saw two frightened kittens cornered by angry dogs. I was screed of dogs but I asked Saint Quiteria to give me courage and to protect me. I put one kitten in my basket and the other one I took under my arm. Then I ran away. Saint Quiteria protected me, and the dogs didn’t get us. Since the kittens were stray I kept them. And now they keep me company.

I give infinite thanks to Saint Thomas Aquinas because thanks to his intervention I met very virile and hairy man, just as I liked them. His name is Tomas, and we perform at the theatre with our poodle Lucero.

Monterrey, August 1972

The Lopez brothers went fishing, and the sea snake appeared to them. They were petrified with fear. But their dog, that always went with them, started to bark and to grunt. The snake got scared and swam away. The brothers give thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan because the snake didn’t hurt them.

With this drawing your slave Juan Luis Rubert wants to thank you, Saint Francis, for the miracle. My dog Sandy bit the doña Mariela Luisiana del Corral’s big toe. I cared about the wounded woman with all my devotion, in your constant presence, Saint Francis. At that moment her husband arrived and witnessed this scene. He got furious and killed the dog but left Mariela Luisiana del Corral to me for ever.
