Woman asked the universe to send her a sign from her late dog. Minutes later, she witnessed a miracle

Pet parents always have a special bond with their pets. They are no less than an actual child to humans. Losing them for any reason hurts no less than losing a family member. But Amy Maurer Creel (@amymaurercreel on TikTok), who happens to be an introverted animal rescuer, got a pleasant sign from the universe which made her believe that her departed fur buddy is always going to be around her in some form and will be watching over her.

In her viral Tiktok video, Creel revealed that she was grieving her dog named Huckleberry, whom she considered her best friend. She had rescued the severely malnourished puppy and helped him through numerous medical challenges. Once Creel was able to nurse Huckleberry back to health, the duo were inseparable for two years and made countless memories. But her beloved pooch passed away at 10 years old. That's when she got a blessing from above, in the woods.

"I was walking in the trails just now," Creel said at the beginning of the video. She was missing her dog and that's when she tried to communicate with the woods and the universe and asked them if "the dog can give her a sign that shows that he would always be with her." It seems her prayers were heard in the best way possible. “I said to the woods, ‘If you’re here, can you just let me know',” she tearfully recalled in her TikTok video, “At that moment, this dog came running towards me who looked just like him!"

The pup named Ollie had gone off his leash and didn't hesitate to greet Creel with licks and kisses. Ollie's owner quickly rushed after him and explained that he had indeed let the dog off his leash and was sorry for it. “I don’t care if you think I’m crazy, but I think your dog came to say hi to me from Huckleberry,” Creel said to the dog’s owner. The owner strangely revealed that the dog hardly takes the walking route he did that day but changed his way at the last minute to stumble upon Creel.

Creel captioned her video, "He was my heart dog." The TikTok community could not hold back their emotions at this sweet story and how Creel possibly got an answer from her late pooch. Some people questioned if it was scientifically possible or not and others believed it to be an amazing spiritual experience. @jinxandkarmaarethebest wrote: "There’s so much about our universe that we don’t know. Huckleberry’s energy is out there with you and it brought that moment to you." @dokaf4fashion remarked: "What a beautiful spiritual experience! It is the universe reminding us nothing we love is ever lost." 

@angiehdempsey commented: "My heart is breaking with yours. I just lost my beautiful cat Nia right after Thanksgiving and the grief is still so raw." @waltrip36 quipped: "He knew exactly what you needed. He's okay and will be waiting for you on the other side." @divineskymystic added: "I’m crying with you. What a beautiful sign from your soul dog. They never leave us, even in spirit! Peace to you."
