The article was nicely done. Once again I am so happy that you have your little Maddie back! Her story is amazing and I hope a lot of people read it and see that their are Good people out their still, Lewis is a great kind man for bringing her back to you!

OMgosh, my golly! This is all so awesome! What a beautiful article! Why in the world did they crop off Lauryn's head? I felt bad about that. She must have been so disappointed. Other than that, the pictures are great! I love the one of you holding Maddie and her giving Lewis kisses! That is so precious!

Yes indeed...sooooo heartwarming! Give miracle Maddie kisses from me and the girls!!! Hugs to you! So VERY happy for you!!!

This is truely one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard. I tell everyone I see about it...it makes God's presence known. I am so happy for you that you are reunited with little Maddie. She is just a gem!

Everyone make sure to post a comment at the newspaper site about Maddie story.The more shows of interest might help this story go further.

Every time I tell this story to someone they just can't believe it!
I think the article was very well written and exposed Lewis for the kind soul that he is!

beautiful article....I bet Readers Digest would print this!!!!

the article came out great :thumbup: it was an amazing story too with a great happy ending for everyone :)

This would be a great story for the today show,someone call them.

The article was really good. The pics were fantastic. Pretty cool that someone that knew Lewis posted in the comments about how this was so like Lewis. It was a shame that your daughter's head was cropped out. She is so pretty. Congrats again on Maddie being safe and at home..

WOW Talk about chills and tears, That was awsome denise:) so so happy for you all:D

Loved seeing the article. This is truly a miracle! :)

So sweet!!
 

Look at that will you---Lewis is one happy camper!!! He has made so many people happy over this. What care he took with Maddie and what care he will take with Justis (Sasha).

All of this just makes my heart happy!!

A friend of mine said Dogs are Yummy for your heart!! I agree 100%!!

Wish they wouldnt have cut Lauryn out, she is such a beauty!!

Yeah! Maddies home!

Denise--you need to take this paper, frame it and hang it in "your" front room.


Oh and I LOVE all the online comments on thestarpress that YT members have posted. Muncie has no idea what YT people are capable of!!! They are about to be blown away. One lady at work said "Look there are no negative comments on it" Seriously that is amazing!! Every single article has at least someone who posts something rude, but not this one so far!!

I haven't posted but have followed all the posts on this and this is the most touching, heartwarming hallmark story I've read/heard in a very long time. I'm so happy that you have your baby back and that Lewis now has one of his own to love.

Oh the article was very nice! I cried all over again.

I was telling my mom about little Maddie and couldn't even finish I was crying so hard.

I am so glad she is back home now and that she was loved and cared for while she was missing. Lewis is definitely an angel!

The article was beautiful, and they took some really touching pictures! I love it! I passed it on to all of my friends and family that I have told about the "Miraculous Maddie Story"!

Thank you for posting the link to it, Denise! I will NEVER forget this story!

I woke up to your e-mail this morning Denise and saw that you had sent the link - so I jumped on YT to post and let you know that I am about to go and read it.

I am sooo excited!!! :cheer: And that is SO COOL that they called it "Maddie's Miracle" as that is what I have been calling it this entire time not even know that-that's what they were going to use, LOL!

Ok - enough blabbing! I am going to read! :D :cheer:

Ok, now that I have stopped BAWLING MY HEAD OFF I can actually see to type, lol!

Oh Denise...I cannot even begin to tell you how much reading this story warmed my heart. This is just such an unbelievable MIRACLE! I cried, and cried, and cried reading it....and the pictures were fantastic! I do have to say though, that in the middle of crying, I did let out a little giggle when I read the part about Lexie saying that Maddie is "With JEJUS" - instead of Jesus, lol. That is so cute and so sweet! :wub: Awwww!

I printed out the article, and all the pictures along with it - and now I have to go forward the e-mail you sent me to everyone I have told this story too (which is a TON! lol) so that they can go and read the article too! :D

I am just SO SO HAPPY!!! :happyboun Stedman says that he never knew his girlfriend would be such a STAR - lol. He loved seeing her cute little pictures in the article too :p

Big hugs to EVERYONE (Denise, Maddie, Lewis, Justis, Jill, the kiddos) etc. etc. etc. LOL.

EVERYONE is a hero in this story!! I just love you ALL!!! :ghug:

Great story and so glad Lewis didn't pay those nasty boys for her. PS I was wondering if the vet should be apprised that they should be more diligent to check for microchips? Warmly, Deborah

Next vet visit, I am going to find out if it is routine to check for chips when a new patient is scheduled for a checkup.

Thanks guys...my phone at work has been ringing off the hook all day with customers calling me telling me wonderful of a story it was.

I think the guy did a great job...

wish they wouldnt have cut lauryn's head off. lol

Wonderful Job. I did submit my story to oprah and ellen.

never know.

lol

I personally called John and thanked him for doing the article. That was so wonderful of him.:) :) :) :)

If Maddie gets called to be put on Oprah or Ellen's show....well I am just seriously going to fall over. LOL!!!! Man, she really WILL be a star! Hahaha! I'm tellin' ya though, if she goes on Oprah - Stedman's gotta tag along....Maddie telling Oprah that SHE TOO has a boyfriend named Stedman will just take the cake on this whole already amazing story, lol! :yelrotflm

So thrilled this went to print and got such play in your paper.

Yesterday I told one of the editors at my newspaper about the story & he thought it sounded like a great story, and said he would be watching for it on the wires. Hopefully, they will find space to run the story here.

So sorry they cropped Lauryn out of the paper - makes no sense. Most likely it was the page designer (the person who lays out all the copy and photos on the page). I don't think that would happen at my paper, because there should have been other photos to choose from to print. I know as a writer it is so frustrating to try and tell a story with so many elements when space is always at a premium in the paper. Or you tell the story to the best of your ability and an editor, copy editor or page designer trims it to fit the space and takes out vital ingredients to the story - just dealing with that myself today!!

Is there a photo gallery also out online?? I tried to find one, but it just looks like the few next to the story.

Too bad they left out yorkietalk.com - but glad to see those posting are getting it in. Wish we could put up the link on the first thread of of Denise telling the story -- that was so incredibly powerful!

Praise God, that the reporter allowed Denise to tell her story & that it was her faith in God that played an important role in this whole miracle.

ah, i feel a frog in my throat - holding back watery eyes!
that's such a great story! dreams really do come true! :aimeeyork

It still brings tears to my eyes. It's such a beautiful story and renews your faith in human nature.

This is just unbelievable!!! Im soooooooooo happy for you and Maddie that she is now home! I bet your'e floored right now and have no idea what to do!!!!!!!!!:animal-pa :p :D :) It's nice to know that there is still good people out there!

Wow.. very well written! The pictures are amazing as well.

YES...i'm bummed they left out yt too. I kept talking alot about it and all the wonderful people. he even wrote it down cause he ask me for the site again.

Denise, I hope you hear from Ellen or Oprah.
They are both animals lover's so I won't be surprised if one of
them get's back to you. Finger's crossed that it happen's.
This is one story that the whole world should hear about.
The world could use an uplift for sure. With so many depressing
sad and sick stories in the news everynight this story will just
melt everyone and put love back into their hearts.

Oh my, where are the tissues? Such a heart warming story. Still gives me goose bumps!

This is so exciting! I printed out the piece to show all my friends.

If you do go on Oprah do you think she will pay for my plane ticket to come and see the show? :D :D :p

Once again Denise, I am sooo pleased you have Maddie back and happy that Lewis has a little girl of his own. Well done everyone.:thumbup:

Hugs to all...

I'm still amazed at this story! I'm glad that they put it in the newspaper. I hope that it continues to get the recognition it deserves. :)
