This is a story of rescue and love born out of tragedy. A barking dog alerts a couple to an abandoned baby in their shed.

The couple does not know what is going on. It is just another day near Houston, Texas, and their dog Archie is barking uncontrollably in their backyard shed. 

Curious and afraid to see what is in the shed, the couple goes outside, and the man investigates. To his surprise, a baby girl has been left in their shed. He yells to his wife to call the police. 

The woman cradles the baby after making the phone call and takes her into their home. You can see a picture of the woman holding the child tight with tears in her eyes. 

The ambulance gets to their home and takes the baby to a hospital. As the couple shares, the wife says that she picked up the infant, and the baby girl fell asleep. 

The man shares that he was shocked going into the shed to see that the baby was lying on the floor. They said that the baby girl had bruises all over her body and she looked very tired. 

The father has been charged for his actions, and he has even tried to come back and steal this couple’s car. The baby’s mother was with her in the hospital, and she thanked the couple for saving her baby. 

Watching this story is heart-wrenching, knowing the impact of this man’s choices. This poor baby was left, and it is a miracle of God that this dog got the attention of the couple who saved her. 

Even in the midst of great difficulties, though, the Lord can work in amazing ways to rescue and redeem. 

“The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:18
