<\/p>\n
At 3:07 a.m., I stopped my motorcycle on a bridge because something felt off. That\u2019s when I heard a faint whimper. In the shadows, I found an older golden retriever chained to the railing\u2014sick, exhausted, barely breathing, with a large tumor on her belly. Someone had left her water and a worn stuffed duck. When she saw me, her tail moved just once.<\/p>\n
Two notes were tucked into her collar. One, written by an adult, begged for her suffering to end. The other was in a child\u2019s crayon handwriting, asking me to save Daisy, saying \u201cangels ride motorcycles,\u201d and offering $7.43 in tooth fairy money. At the bottom, in smaller writing, were chilling words: Daddy says not to tell anyone where we live.<\/em><\/p>\n I rushed Daisy to an emergency vet. She couldn\u2019t be saved, but she was kept comfortable and loved. A social worker helped trace the note to a seven-year-old girl named Madison, living in a motel with her struggling father. Madison believed someone good would find her dog\u2014and she was right.<\/p>\n Madison got to say goodbye, holding Daisy as she passed peacefully. Before I left, she gave me the stuffed duck so I wouldn\u2019t forget. I still ride that bridge sometimes. And every time I do, I remember that angels don\u2019t always have wings\u2014sometimes, they ride motorcycles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At 3:07 a.m., I stopped my motorcycle on a bridge because something felt off.
