I was sent this story by mother, and it's making it's way across the Internet, and with that being said, who knows if it's true, but the picture doesn't lie.

A creche was set up outside of a church, and during the night, members of the congregation went to look at it. What they found was an abandoned dog, who was looking for a place to sleep. He had crawled into the cradle, where the baby Jesus was placed.

No one had the heart to move the dog. Oh, and the breed of the dog? A German SHEPHERD!

There are just 9 days to Christmas! May you be filled with the Christmas Spirit!
