A jogger and her dog who offered comfort to a grieving child outside her father’s funeral received an impromptu invite to come inside, surprising guests. The 6-year-old who is “daddy’s girl,” according to her mom, wanted to introduce her beloved father one last time to the stranger.
Emily Beineman was out jogging with her Labrador, Blue, on April 28, when she passed McConnell Funeral Home Chapel in Greenwood, Arkansas. Raelynn Nast from Fort Smith called out from the steps to ask if she could pet the dog.
