“Do your pet and yourself a favor: Buy this book, and when you’re done reading it, keep it in the medicine cabinet for the next time you need salve for your soul.” — Marty Becker, D.V.M., veterinary contributor for Good Morning America, chief veterinary correspondent for Amazon, and author of The Healing Power of Pets It was 1994, and Mike Lingenfelter was ready for his life to be over. Two serious heart attacks and open-heart surgery had taken away most of the good things that he had in his life. However, his doctors still held out hope for him, and they were trying to find ways to motivate him to get out of the house and exercise. Their vision was that an energetic dog on a leash might do that for Mike. And so it was that this golden retriever named Dakota, who had been rescued from death himself, came to help Mike with his rehabilitative therapy. Eventually, Dakota became Mike’s protector and his best friend, saving Mike’s life several times after somehow learning how to alert Mike of oncoming heart crises. Dakota gave Mike back his dignity, his pride, and his life. Early on, it became evident to Mike that this wonderful 98-pound, red-haired, four-legged angel had a special gift: Dakota was a spirit guide, and it was Mike’s duty to share him and the power of the human-animal bond. Ultimately, as part of that journey, one more miracle was needed, as Dakota fought a courageous and dignified battle for his own life.

When angel encounters happened in my own family, with healing messages for me, and with my Sons angel appearing to him at the age of six, I began sharing our story with others. As they listened, many then began sharing their own miraculous stories with me. These are true stories about life changing, divine interventions and angelic encounters. When angels appeared, many came with beautiful, and inspirational messages, full of loving guidance. Some stories are about individuals who were saved by their guardian angel. In some instances, their divine intervention helped to change the course they were on in their lives through the messages given to them by their angel. Many went on to complete their lifes destiny because of their blessed experience. God has blessed us by providing each and every one of us guardian angels to guide and protect us throughout our lifetimes, until the day an angel leads our soul back to Heaven with God. As you read about these heavenly interventions, you will be inspired by each one of these beautiful and amazing stories.
