There are angels who watch over particular kinds of animals like chickens or dogs or cats. There are also angels who watch over animals with a particular condition, such as being lame and unable to walk. These are all what you might call “specialists.”

Some animals are born with a missing limb. Others lose a limb through accident. Often they are able to move, but must move slowly. Others need help or will die.

These “specialist” angels can use their raised arm to support and steady a lame animal which is helpful. Even so, they can’t create a new limb the way that Jesus can, but He will one day when He makes all things new.
