This is the kind of story that just amazes me at how GOOD most people really are. :usfl:

Except for the Demoncrats I mean! Dogs are such amazing creatures, and they are much smarter than most of the people I meet these days!

Emma Mertens, a seven-year-old girl from Wisconsin with an inoperable brain tumor, received a special surprise Saturday.

Mertens was diagnosed in January with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, an extremely rare brain tumor, according to Fox29. After Martens learned of her diagnosis, a friend asked people to send her letters including photos of their dogs because she loves the animals so much.

On Saturday, K-9 officers from 40 different police departments showed up at Mertens’ house to introduce her to some new friends.

The Hartford, Wisconsin, Police Department shared photos of the visit on their Facebook page showing the K-9 officers along with their dogs lined up outside of Mertens’ home.

Along with the photos, they wrote, “Today, just a few of us (roughly 40) stopped by to see Emma. She had no idea we were coming so she was VERY excited. What an amazing and strong little girl.”

On the family’s “Team Emma” Facebook page, they shared photos of Mertens with the dogs, as well. The family wrote, “There are no words … Pure Joy! Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in this. Emma is still all smiles.”

Back in February, a friend wrote Mertens a letter and included a photo of her dog. She then shared with other friends to do the same. After just a few weeks the family said Mertens had received over 75,000 letters from all different parts of the country.

Today I sent this little girl an email letter, written as though it was from my two dogs. I really hope she enjoys it.

This story really touched my heart. As a father, it really got me. When my son was three, he came down with something called Kawasaki, and we thought he was going to die. Fortunately, he recovered, and is healthy today at 31, thank God !!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I sent the email, and wrote it as if my dogs were talking. I have to take pictures of my dogs with my phone, then put on the computer, and will send her another email with the pictures.

I would really encourage all of you to send emails, or letters with pictures to this little girl !!!

I will pray for this little girl, and pray that God the Father will touch & heal her !!!!

I thank all of you to do the same !!!

God Bless !!!

Like Dennis has said, "The older I get, the more I like dogs over people." Personally, I have been feeling quite overwhelmed with this tidal wave of violence, insanity and madness sweeping over the world. I also posted a story about an elephant calf playing with some tourists in South Africa.
