Written in bright crayon by a seven-year-old girl named Madison, the message read like a wish whispered into the universe. Madison begged whoever found Daisy to take care of her. She included $7.43—all the money she had saved from the tooth fairy—and wrote that she believed “angels on motorcycles” would come to help Daisy.Madison’s pure faith gave me courage. I immediately called my trusted veterinarian, Dr. Amy. Even though Daisy’s surgery was risky and expensive, we decided to give her a chance. After hours of careful work, Daisy pulled through.Though her time was uncertain, she had been given another chance to experience love and joy.I knew I had to find Madison. When I told her Daisy had survived, her face lit up with joy. Over the next year, I became part of their lives, helping with Daisy’s care by providing medicine, food, and support. During that time, Daisy grew stronger, and Madison grew wiser and more compassionate, learning to nurture her beloved companion with tenderness.Eventually, Daisy’s journey came to a peaceful close. We held a small ceremony and laid her to rest in my backyard garden, surrounded by flowers.
Madison, though heartbroken, found comfort in knowing Daisy had been cherished until her very last day. She gave me a drawing of angels—one of Daisy, her late mother, and me—with the words: “Thank you, Mr. Bear Angel.”Years later, inspired by Daisy’s story, Madison started a charity called “Daisy’s Angels.” In this unique program, children donate their small savings, and caring motorcycle riders volunteer to raise funds. Together, they help provide medical care and loving homes for animals in need. So far, seventeen dogs have been saved—all because one little girl believed in kindness and hope.
One quiet night at 3 AM, I came across a Golden Retriever named Daisy near the old Cedar Creek Bridge. She was weak and unwell, with a visible growth on her belly. Beside her lay a small bowl of water, a well-loved stuffed duck, and two handwritten notes—one from an adult and one from a child.The first note explained that Daisy’s family loved her deeply but could no longer provide the care she needed. It was heartbreaking, yet it was the second note that truly touched my soul.
