The girl Lupita Corona was bitten by an evil dog when she was leaving the bakery shop. She went home, and her mother took care of her. But the fever wouldn’t go away, and they told her that the dog was rabid and the girl should be taken to the doctor. But the doctor said that the girl was about to die. Seeing her daughter’s trouble, she entrusted her to the Holy Mary of Guadalupe, promising wholeheartedly to order this retablo, because her daughter was suffering a lot. After that she began her recovery. Thanks to you now she’s alright. I bring you the promise for the received miracle.

I went to see Pancho, and on my way back I was attacked by a dog. It tried to bite my face and threw me down on the ground. I implored the Virgin of San Juan with the Lord’s Prayer because it seemed the demon himself attacked me Then the dog ran away and left me lying down. I didn’t have any scratch. Then I found out that the dog had rabies. I thanked and I promised to dedicate a retablo for delivering me from such disgrace of being beaten. Otherwise, it would’ve given me rabies. I bring this testimony of what happened to your feet. May you be blessed, Holy Virgin.

My daughter was coming back from school and met an angry rabid dog. The dog started barking. My girl was scared and thought the dog was going to attack her. But thanks to Saint Quiteria the dog only barked and ate the cookies that my daughter had for her lunch-break. Then the dog left. We thank Saint Quiteria for this miracle because that dog had already bitten many people.

The kitchen was filled with bats. I was afraid that they were vampires and they would suck our blood. I prayed to the Virgin of San Juan for protection. Thanks to her these animals finally left our house. Although I think they bit our dog, thanks to the Holy Virgin it didn’t get rabies, nor did become a vampire-dog.

A dog chased a group of girls from the Saint Martin school. Then the dog bit them. The mothers of the girls thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the dog was caught and the examination showed it wasn’t rabid.
