Where others might just see an animal, I see a part of my family. So when my boxer, Floyd Henry, came up to me one evening while I was sitting on the sofa, I put down my novel and leaned in to give him a hug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome here, boy,\u201d I said, holding out my arms. He put his paws up on the sofa cushion and settled into my embrace. But then he reared his big square head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d I asked. \u201cWhat\u2019s got you startled?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Floyd Henry regarded me with a questioning expression. <em>This is odd<\/em>. Floyd Henry had never given me such a concerned look before. Not in all of the five years we\u2019d been together. He sniffed at my nose and mouth. Then he snapped his teeth in my face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey!\u201d I yelled. I couldn\u2019t believe what had just happened. Floyd Henry was in no way, shape or form aggressive. And we didn\u2019t ever play rough.<\/p>\n<p>I took his head in my hands, gently, but firmly. \u201cNo!\u201d I said. \u201cWe don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Floyd Henry didn\u2019t back down. Again, he snapped at my face. \u201cBad boy!\u201d I said harshly, although it pained me to do it. I never had occasion to speak to him that way.<\/p>\n<p>I pushed his paws back down onto the carpet. \u201cGo lay down,\u201d I told him.<\/p>\n<p>Floyd Henry trotted off. I picked up my book and settled back into the sofa. But I couldn\u2019t relax. There had to be a logical explanation for Floyd Henry\u2019s behavior. <em>Was he trying to grab food I dropped on myself at dinner? Was he scared of something? <\/em>My loving companion wasn\u2019t making sense.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, the very beginning of our relationship didn\u2019t make any sense, either. I hadn\u2019t been looking for a dog when I bought Floyd Henry. I noticed an ad in the classified section of the newspaper: \u201cBoxer for sale.\u201d I flipped the page and sipped my coffee. I certainly didn\u2019t need another dog.<\/p>\n<p>Since retiring from teaching I\u2019d been fostering boxer dogs in my home. Many came to me with physical limitations and emotional scars. I was determined to help them overcome their problems.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a teacher, I taught all of my students that they were special and had a reason to be on this earth. I believed the same for my dogs.<\/p>\n<p>One of my charges laid his chin on my knee as I browsed the rest of the classifieds that day. My mind kept going back to that tiny ad. I turned back. <em>Boxer for sale. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cancercenter.com\/faith\/?source=I4FMNA07\">Find out more about one of Guideposts.org&#8217;s sponsors, Cancer Treatment Centers of America<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>With so many dogs already counting on me, why was I even giving the advertisement a second thought?<\/p>\n<p>Curiosity welled up inside me. I wanted to know this dog\u2019s story. Why was he being sold? Where would he go? I gave in and made the phone call. A man answered, and we arranged to meet later that day.<\/p>\n<p>I heard barking as soon as I stepped out of my car onto the property. The storm door opened and a puppy ran out, his tail wagging. The man of the house shook my hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy daughter brought the puppy home,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut then she went off to college. My wife and I were looking forward to traveling now that we have an empty nest, and we just can\u2019t keep him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Looks like I\u2019m getting another dog after all.<\/em> For whatever reason, God had put us together. We loved each other\u2014so why was he snapping at me? I watched Floyd Henry settle onto his bed for a nap. I tried to put the incident out of my mind.<\/p>\n<p>But Floyd Henry\u2019s odd behavior continued. He furiously sniffed at my breath and snorted loudly whenever I leaned in close to him.<\/p>\n<p>Four days after he initially snapped at my face, I leaned in for another hug. He swung his head sharply and bumped my right breast with his nose. Hard.<\/p>\n<p><!--pagebreak--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOuch!\u201d The pain was so intense I had to take a breath to get my bearings. Why was my breast so tender? That day I scheduled a mammogram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Witcher,\u201d the surgical oncologist said after examining the results, \u201cthere\u2019s a mass in your right breast. We can give you a breath test to learn more.\u201d All I had to do was puff air into a small cylindrical tube. The organic compounds in my breath were then tested in a lab. I had stage three breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The reality of my situation slowly began to sink in. I had to start treatment right away. Thank goodness for that mammogram!<\/p>\n<p>Then I remembered why I got it: Floyd Henry had been trying to alert me to the danger he\u2019d smelled on my breath. He had even tried to show me exactly where the tumor was when he bumped me.<\/p>\n<p>After my first treatment, Floyd Henry greeted me at the door. Like usual, he snorted and huffed at my face. But this time I thanked him. \u201cYou\u2019re a good boy, Floyd Henry. A good boy, and an angel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One year of chemotherapy and radiation shrunk the tumor so that my surgeon could remove it. Throughout treatment, Floyd Henry was at my side. I\u2019ve now been cancer-free for more than three years. My tumor was detected in time for treatment\u2014 thanks to the newspaper ad I couldn\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all put on this earth for a reason. Floyd Henry was put here to save my life.\n <\/p>\n<p><em>Download your FREE ebook, <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/free-ebooks\/prayer-every-need\/download\">A Prayer for Every Need, by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs have always held a special place in my heart.
