"Saved by Obama, da dog..."



http://thegardenisland.com/news/local/article_47d61be2-8feb-11df-b004-001cc4c002e0.html?mode=story

Every Wednesday my routine is to go to Kapa'a farmers market and arrive approximately at 3:45 P.M. since the crowds are mellowing out by then. I enjoy hanging out and talking story with my friends, Lisa, Sumi, and Lisa's mom. (pictured above with Obama the dog in February 2010, at the farmers market)

There was an accident, My friends were sitting on the tailgate of their sedan wagon selling fresh produce  when a car hit their front end  pushing them 15 ft. forward. Lisa fractured two toes and one toe was broken, Sumi had major neck and back pain from the jolt, Sumi is 85 years old. The ambulance came and took them to the local hospital

 Two  young Rabbis were visiting me which delayed my arrival, ironically Lisa's 90 year old mom went looking for  Obama (my dog)  and me during the ordeal. Obama loves Lisa's mom and runs to her as soon as I let her off her leash. if I had not been late Lisa's 90 year old mon most likely would had  been injured too, since she would not had gone walking looking for her favorite four legged friend. If you look at their photo above the car was hit and moved about 15 ft and to the right which would had knocked Lisa's mom off  her chair, which could  had been  deadly for a frail 90 year old woman.

 Thank you Rabbi's for detaining me and possibly saving a human life. Coincidence or divinity?
I vote Divinity!...

P.S. a link to a story in Kauai's Garden Island newspaper about the accident can be viewed below;
