BABY THROWN IN A HOLE
One day, while i was in the orphanage I heard a dog barking with all his strength. After some time he began to whine. With his movements he made us understand that he wanted us to follow him.
One of our nuns left everything she was doing and together with another woman they followed the dog. He led them to the woods and stopped at a hole where there was a half-dead baby. Around the hole there was a lot of flies and insects. Only the head of the baby was visible.
The women dug around the baby as fast as they could and pulled him out. The nun saw taht part of his head was showing because the dog had incredibly dug around it in an attempt to allow this baby to breath, then he went to seek help. THe baby was so weak that his cry was hardly audible. They brought the baby to the hospital and with a lot of love they washed and cared for him.
He baby had been born at only eight months and he was buried within 24 hours of his birth. At the hospital they cut his umbilical cord and gave him all thje care he needed. They named the baby Victor, because life was victorious over death.
