There is a reason for everything in this world. Another instance of this point coming true involves a little girl Maya and her savior, Jack.

This little doggy had quite an extraordinary road to finding his family. He went from a dumpster, to the Humane League of Lancaster County, PA, and finally where he was meant to be in a little girl's arms.

Maya is an 8 year old girl with a rare neurological disorder. When Maya was 3 years old she was diagnosed with congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome, an extremely rare condition that only 100 to 200 people in the world are reported to have. This disease affects Maya's oral motor functions such as speech and swallowing and can cause seizures.

Maya and Jack instantly bonded and Jack motivated Maya into talking more then she ever had before. Because of Maya's disorder she did not have many friends, so Jack was her saving grace; literally.

One day last year Jack was sleeping and sensed that Maya was in trouble, so he ran up the stairs and started clawing and barking frantically at Maya's bedroom door. The family rushed up to see what the fuss was about and found Maya was having a seizure in her sleep.

To this day Jack is always by Maya's side. The family says that Jack can preemptively sense when Maya will have a seizure. This amazing dog has many times broken Maya's fall, sat on top of her to help settle her convulsing body, and when she finally wakes up, licks her tears dry. Guardian angels come in all shapes and sizes. Maya's comes in the shape of a cute furry dog. It's hard to believe someone else's trash was a savior in disguise.

Dog Tries to Save Another Dog on Highway (sweet but sad)  
 

In the Salt Lake City Suburb of Murray on December 29th, 2008 at Smith's Food & Drug in Aisle 16 a dog was caught on a surveillance camera stealing a bone worth $2.79. Employees tried to stop the perp, but this dog was far too fast for a human to catch.

New evidence suggests that the crime might have been premeditated many days in advance. "He knew where he was headed," Store manager Roger Adamson told CNN.

$2.79 may not seem like a lot, but if we let one doggy get away with shoplifting then who knows what these clever animals will do next: embezzlement, BUI's (Barking Under the Influence), perjury, bite and runs, racketeering? This is just the beginning America. Next thing you know cats will be breaking and entering into pet stores. After getting high on cat nip take a dip in the fish tanks.

This dog must be found and put behind bars ASAP. Who knows what other schemes this mutt might be conjuring up and what other pets his evil has rubbed off on? The fugitive has been described as a German Shepherd or Husky mix with a hint of Hyena.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of this creature call Americas Most Wanted Pets hotline at 555-PET-PERPS. If you see this animal don't try and be a hero. He is said to be armed and extremely dangerous.

The story in this article is true, but the danger is extremely over exaggerated and just plain silly.
