Inspirational Friday

Man stops kidnapping in Albuquerque New Mexico and he is being recognized as a hero. Antonio Diaz-Chacon is the hero and he is getting national praise. He has been sent cards and gift cards for his heroic measure to rescue a 6-year-old girl. Good things are happening to him in return. His washing machine was broken at the time of the kidnapping and he was using his mother-in-laws washer, and in front of her house is where Phil Garcia abducted the girl. Antonio got into his pick-up truck and followed Garcia and chased him until Garcia crashed and grabbed the girl out of van.  Antonio was telling his story to the press and a lady who remains anonymous from Utah called Lowe's and asked them to fix his washer. Lowe's agreed and is going to repair any appliance that the  Diaz-Chacon family needs to be fixed.

A car crash that occurred over a year ago caused the dog that was in the car to get lost. The family searched for Caesar a Maltese, but was unsuccessful. The eighteen month old child who was hospitalized, after the crash continued to asked for Caesar. The family thought the dog was gone forever. Until they received a call earlier this month from a animal shelter volunteer in Tucumcari, New Mexico, stated that "Caesar was scanned for a micro-chip." He did have one and that allowed him to be reunited with his family. Caesar did remember the family and they stated "it was an amazing evening when he returned home."
