Surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with horses and cows, the town of Waimea on Hawaii’s Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place. One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a
36 along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area.
We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed
37 friendly so we stopped to play with him,
38 a stick which he retrieved(取回) several times happily. When we
39 our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he
40 be going too far from his home, I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his
41 .
After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by shrubbery(灌木林) and shaded by tall trees,seemed
42 strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible.
Just then, the door to the house creaked open and five dogs
43 , barking and growling as they ran toward us. I felt
44 and couldn’t move. There was nowhere to
45 and no time to run..
All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them – all five of them – growling and baring his teeth. I was
46 to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector
47 them there while we escaped.
48 a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs
49 back toward their house.
But the Golden Retriever was
50 in sight. I felt an ache in my
51 ; I missed our friend already. Instinctively, I knew he was not hurt. With a feeling of
52 , we made our way back to the house,
53 the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.
When I told our friend about the encounter, her eyes flew wide open
54 she exclaimed, “It was an angel!”
To this day I have no
55 that a four-legged angel protected us.
