One Christmas, a nativity scene went up. There was Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus. But this one year, there was an extra addition to the scene. It was something people didn't know they needed, but once they saw it, it encouraged them to be more compassionate and loving during Christmas and every other day of the year.
Christmas is a time when miracles happen.
Whether it's something like snow falling in the morning or family and friends spending the holidays together, it truly is a magical time.
In 2008, the town of Criciuma in Brazil set up their nativity scene.
Little did they know that this would be the year a miracle would come to them.
When people gathered around, they noticed something sleeping in the manger.
Right next to the baby Jesus was a sleeping German Shepherd puppy.
Many people came to see the manger not expecting to also find a puppy.
But every visitor was overcome with joy and love when they saw him snuggled up.
It's not confirmed if someone adopted this pup.
But we sure hope he did find a new home by Christmas.
These pictures remind us how lonely the holiday season can be for some.
We're all just looking for a safe place to curl up and call home.
This puppy was drawn to this nativity scene for some reason.
Even when we are lost, we are still going somewhere.
This puppy found love when he most needed it and we should all spread love year-round, not just at Christmas.
