[ NFA says, Chilli - here's a story with a good ending. ]

On the one hand, the stories out of Israel about the special terrors that Hamas reserved for women have been stomach-churning. Offsetting that darkness, though, are some of the stories about women who triumphed over the terrorists. The latest is a story of a girl and her dog.
...
These are stories of almost unbearable darkness. But in this darkness there is light, and much of this light comes from tales about the women of Israel, true descendants of Deborah, Judith, and Jael.
You’ve already heard about some of those women. One was the 13-year-old girl who kept her father alive while her mother and brother were killed during the siege at Kibbutz Be’eri. The other was the story of the women tank commandos who went on the attack, even as the general in charge of Israeli troops dithered, leaving dozens to die.

And now, we have the wonderful story of a girl and her dog. The girl is Maya Leimberg, who, amazingly, emerged from captivity clutching a little dog in her arms. Here’s the tweet about what happened and, below, I’ve pasted a translation from Breitbart.
The festive scene of the dog of the Leimberg family, against the haters’ rage and anger. This is what this crazy story looks like, as recounted by the family: “At first, Hamas didn’t even realize that it was a dog. Mia just woke up and put on a nightgown, she picked up the dog in her hands and hugged her throughout the abduction. The terrorists thought it was her doll and that’s how they managed to take the dog”
Only at a later stage, after a few hours, did she move a little in Mia’s hands – and then the kidnappers realized that she was a dog. “An argument broke out there, they wanted to take [the dog] away from her. But this is Mia’s dog, and Mia gets very determined when it comes to her, so she argued with them. In these 53 days, the dog ate the little they ate, they secreted [food] for her from the portions they received”
The release video shows a tense conversation between Mia and a Hamas man who spotted her getting out of the car with the dog. “One of the Hamasniks came to take Bella and said ‘What is this?’ And she answered him, ‘She’s mine, from home.’ She signaled to him – no further, don’t touch my dog. It wasn’t an argument, she simply made it clear to him assertively that she was coming home with her”
This is not just an anecdote. “It was not easy to take care of her, but the concern for the dog sustained them there and their survival,” said Aunt Meain. At the Sheba Hospital where they were taken in, preparations were also made for [the dog’s] arrival. “Just as [the hostages] got doctors – she got a vet. [They gave her] ten thousand treatments, they made her cuckoo. They were released and are recovering at home.”

To fully appreciate what happened, you must know that despising dogs is built into Islam, which is another reason Muslims hate the West. For these terrorists to yield to a teenage girl is both amazing and inspiring.
