I really don’t remember. I have been at Rainbow Bridge for so long that I have forgotten what my rescuers called me.  I did have a name prior to them finding me, but they did not know what it was, and I let them “re-name” me.  I am now a Guardian Angel for those who are still looking for a home.  I am not alone here, we are a bunch.  But, I have been chosen to write for “our” web page.

 One of us gave Gulfstream Rottweiler Club the idea of creating a “club”, or a “rescue group”.  I think it came from one of those “show dogs” here with us.  I remember the conversation well.   My friend was telling us stories of his wonderful home and, how much he loved the “humans” who lived with him. He told us of happy days, of trips, of going to dog shows, whatever that meant.  He had his own bed, and at times he shared it with his human friends. He had his own car, and a DRIVER, too!  He traveled by air, and had a boat. Ah! And a swimming pool as big as a house. 

 Some of us were listening in AWE.  We, were not that lucky, we thought.

 One said, “because I did not have any of those things you mentioned, a human gave me a gentle shot, and I ended up here at Rainbow Bridge”.   Another, told his story too.  He told us about how he was “abused”, alcohol poured on his back and then set on fire!   And more and more not so lucky friends began to tell their story of how they came to Rainbow Bridge.

 I was in shock, and so was my “show” friend. I had been lucky to have found good humans while I was walking the streets.  The humans who lived with me gave me everything my “show” friend had.  Well, maybe not everything, but I had what I considered most important, LOVE.  I WAS VERY MUCH LOVED!. 

 My “show” friend was so shocked  and  spoke to the group. 

 “I was not aware, my friends, of how many of you suffered from not having a good home”, he said.   And then, he began to talk about trying to help those who were in need.  He had great ideas, but none of us knew how we were going to accomplish those from so far away. 

 “Let us be called GUARDIAN ANGELS!”, he shouted. 

 “Angels!?”  I said quietly to myself. 

 He explained how Angels have wings, and they are “spirits”, too, and can not be seen.  He told us that Angels are very close to God, and that God listens to them.  He told us,  that all we needed was to find those humans who were close to God.  THEY in turn would listen to God.

 All we had to do was to whisper in God’s ear the names of our friends in need. And then, whenever God was in “conference” with one of those loving humans, He would tell them what to do.

I said,  “OK!”, but,  I still have a big question. How are you going to tell our abandoned friends who to look out for? How would they know which home to go to, the neighborhood to walk by, or to whom to “talk to” when they are behind chain link fences, or to beg for shelter and food and love?”

 My “show” friend smiled.  He had the biggest smile I have ever seen.  
He then explained,  “How many of us here had a great home?”, he questioned. 

 Wow!  A bunch of dogs raised their paws.  There were as many of them, as there were of “us” who had not been that lucky.

 The show dog said, “just like Angels are close to God, WE TOO, are still close to the humans who we loved!   And so, we will do the same thing Angels do. We will “talk” to our former owners and ask them to help. You will see, soon we will be a bunch of Guardian Angels, here at Rainbow Bridge and down there on Earth.”

 And so, our existence came to be. 

 We are Gulfstream GUARDIAN ANGELS Rottweiler Rescue
