Today we live in a modern world which for many lacks any link to a greater power or great spirtuality. Humans wonder the planet as empty husks, facing a world filled with uncertainty and confusion. As we have grown more sophisticated with time we have lost some of the more basic ideals which have helped us become more human, helped us and guided us through the many trials and tribulations of life. However we are fortunate that today walking among us there are still beings, entities from a higher plane of reality, which offer us aid in our times of greatest need. They lift us when we fall, rally us when our spirits flag, guide us when we are lost in a sea of inequity. This web page is dedicated to one of those selfless guardians who walk among us each day, normally unseen and unappreciated, yet time and again helping those in need. These unsung guardians are the Flaming Poodles.
What force or divinity sent them to aid humanity is unfortunately an unknown to us, if we did know then we could fall on our kness in worship of this kind entity to send such helpers to us. In the end though, although the veil of this mystery cannot easily be piereced it at the same time does not need to be cleared away. All that we truly need to accept is that these guardians are here to help us, to help you and me, with all that we face. It is known that they have powers and insights beyond that of normal humans, as is evidenced by some of the testimony we have gathered from ordinary people all around the world thanks to the power of the internet. Please read these stories below and draw from them what lesson you will, hopefully though you gain insight into the aid and power of these wonderful creatures and what unconditional love and kindness they offer us all.
I'm just passing this on to let everyone out there know that it is TRUE,
they really do exist, I saw one myself the day of my accident. I was out
in the garage changing a tire and the damn jack got jammed, so I had
crawled under the truck to see if I could loosen it a bit. I was playing
with the jack and nearly had worked it loose, I could feel it beginning to
give, when suddenly I felt something warm and wet on my leg. It smelled
like urine so I scrambled out from under the truck to see what the hell
had peed on me, and there it was, racing away from me, a poodle that
seemed to be burning all over yet barking happily. As I stood in awe the
jack suddenly gave way and the truck crashed down. I might have been
killed but as I was given a divine warning I was clear of the truck and
only suffered a bruised shin when the jack handle smacked it.
But if you think that is amazing read the story below to see someone who
was REALLY helped by the flaming poodles, you have to BELIEVE!

Hey, I found your page and I wanted to pass on a true account that happened to me. I'm a trucker and on long drives sometimes you start to get a little tired, well this one day I was driving at night down old Route 66 out past the Cadilac ranch when I suddenly drift off. Suddenly I felt this intense, sharp pain in my crotch! Well I woke up with a start and nearly drove off the road because sitting in my lap was this pink poodle who was on fire! At the time I wasn't thinking about it but in retrospect I realize this was no ordinary poodle because there was no smoke coming off his fire, and no smell. Trust me on this, when a dog catches fire you can tell by the smell.
Anyway I yanked the truck to the shoulder and looked down and the poodle was gone, but I could see him racing away along the road. Some other drivers must have seen him as well becaue they stopped but then drove on. Guess they figured it was something in their imagination but I knew it was real, I felt its teeth in my ball sack! The thing though is this guardian saved me from two potential disasters at once, as I was careening to the shoulder I noticed that had I kept sleeping I would have plowed into a gasoline hauler.
I owe my life to that poodle and I'll never forget it.
The Flaming Poodles do help those in physical danger, as the emails above have shown. However these divine guardians also offer aid to those who are having troubles of the soul as well. Some of our emails have shown that when people were having troubles of the heart a Flaming Poodle was there to help light the way.

Oh my god I was like totally amazed and just had to write in to you about something really unbelievable that happened to me just now. I was on the phone with my boyfriend Stan and he told me that he was really unhappy about stuff that was going on between us and he wanted to break up with me. So I told him if that was the way he felt then he really should just go with it. Well he hung up on me and then I began to cry, until I felt something nuzzling up aganist me, and I looked down and there was this weird looking poodle looking up at me. I was about to cry out but I looked into its deep, brown eyes and I felt compassion welling up and into me. So I began to cry and I buried my head in the poodles fur and just sobbed out everything on my mind. Afterwards it licked my cheek, turned away, and bounced out of the open window in my room. I panicked and thought maybe it had gone crazy or something but I saw it running down the street, leaving a streak of pink flame behind it.
Stan and I did not get back together but I started talking to his best friend Donald and we really hit it off. We now have been dating for about three months and I am so happy, all thanks to that poodle who was there for me and let me get all my pain out.
Truly these guardians are benevolent and kind to the individuals among us who are suffering in their hearts or who are at risk of great bodily harm. However beyond just helping lone people who are in danger of great harm, the Flaming Poodles have even come to the aid of entire communities who have been at risk from the random whims of nature.

To whom it may concern:
I just finished reading your web page and the section on the flaming poodles reminded me of a story told to me by my father. Back in 1952 when he was living in the town of Wild Irishman he worked with others on mining some tailings. Well one day while he and his fellows were out working they heard a sound originating far above them on the mountain slope, when they looked up they saw a massive avanlanche flowing their way. My father and his co-workers realized at that instant both that there was no way they could escape the ensuing devestation and that it would sweep away the town below them, and with that their families. Not knowing what to do he fell to his knees and began to pray, seeing his examples his co-workers joined him in his prayers. My father told me they all tensed up as though expecting a gut punch as the sound grew closer, but time passed and nothing struck them.
Seconds became minutes, and the minutes began to stretch....so they looked up. Above them was this pink blur moving as rapidly as possible from point to point catching everthing from pebbles to boulders in its mouth and tossing them up to the top of the mountain. It seemed to go on for several minutes and then finally whatever that thing was it had caught and stopped every stone headed for their homes. At that point the blur stopped and, although it was very distant, my father swears that it looked like a large pink dog. After reading your web page I was struck by the other stories and figured that perhaps this was another example of what others appear to have seen.
Thank you for giving me a chance to air my memories,
Sincerely,

Of course there are those who do not believe in these benevolent guardian protectors. One of the goals of this website is to attempt to provide a balanced, even handed perspective on this issue. The following email is a randomly drawn sample of some of the commentary we have recieved regarding this website that is of a negative nature.

Subject: YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN THE ETERNAL FLAMES OF HELL HEATHEN!!!
How dare such a sorry excuse for a human being even begin to talk about things that are immortal, amazing, spiritual? Your suppossed web page does nothing but mock that which is decent and good in society and in this sorry excuse for a world, but this TRAVISITY that you call a "informational" site about a suppossed divine intervention goes beyond even the most extreme measures that could be still referred to as being within the boundaries of good taste. Are you not aware of the greatness of the divine powers that you are making light of in this web page of yours? Do you not realize the sheer power, magnificance, and benevolance of G-d and how if He was not a merciful Lord he would smite you as you well deserve. You should read your Bible and be reminded what horrible punishments awaited people of your ilk in the days of old, horrible things suchs as boils, plagues upon your household, even the death of your first born. Fortunately you have a chance to redeem yourself before your are judged and found GUILTY by G-d, you can repent and accept his son Jesus Christ into your life as your personal savior. Only by accepting Christ now can you even begin to hope that you will have a chance to enter into the divine kingdom of heaven. IF NOT THEN YOU SHOULD PREPARE YOURSELF FOR AN ETERNITY OF TOURMENT AFTER YOU DIE!!!! YOUR BOWELS WILL BE CUT OPEN, YOUR ENTRAILS BURNED NIGHTLY BEFORE YOUR EYES, YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL PLUNGED INTO THE BURNING SULFER LAKE OF HELL!!!!!!!! Repent now before it is too late, before you suffer the wrath of G-d, before it is too late to accept the peace and freedom from fear that Jesus Christ, your savior and mine, offers to you. I besiege you, repent, repent of your evil ways and take this horrible web page down before it is too late.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father Matthew 13:41-43 (NIV)
The management accepts this contrary opinion in the spirit of debate and open harmonious airing of differences necessary for our modern society to function.
Plus always keep your eyes open, you might never know when a Flaming Poodle may come to your rescue someday.
