"God only knows what would have happened if he didn't show up," said Angela. Angela and her son were at the playground at Higgs Park on Higgs Drive in Port Charlotte when a man approached her, put a knife to her side and told her not to scream. Then, her guardian angel came running out of nowhere to fight off the attacker – at full force – and on all four feet. "As soon as he growled he just let go of me and took off," she said. Her savior was a 65 pound stray dog. Angela grabbed little Jordan and ran for safety with her new hero on her heels. "Before I could shut my son's car door, he jumped right in and I wasn't going to sit there and try to get him out. I just had to leave before that guy came back," said Angela. But the courageous canine wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. "After the cops left, we were waiting for Animal Control and he stood by my door and did not leave my door. He sat there and did not leave," said Angela. Animal Control came and took the dog to the shelter, leaving Angela and her son safe and sound from her attacker. "I don't know what his intentions were- I don't know why he did it, but I'm glad that- we call him Angel- I'm glad that Angel showed up because I don't know what would have happened," Angela said. Angela said she will adopt the dog if its owner doesn't come forward to claim it. <*}}}>< <http://www.fathercorapi.com/election.aspx>An Important Message from Fr.
