Today we tell you the story of Maggie , a dog who, thanks to her extraordinary willpower, now has a happy second life.
Maggie's story is the story of a dog who has been subjected to indescribable violence . Of a dog who has experienced on his own skin all the wickedness that man can be capable of.
Story of the dog Maggie
But it is also the story of a dog who has found a fortitude to envy. That he fought against death, for his life and for that of his puppies in his womb. And that, in the end, he also found happiness .
Maggie's story begins when the dog is found abandoned on a street in Lebanon . The dog is visibly dying, with gunshot wounds all over his body.
Immediately, passersby take her to a veterinary clinic. Maggie was subjected to violence and beatings all over her body and was hit by 17 rifle shots , including two in her eyes.
She's practically dying and pregnant too. The vets fight to save her life, even if the situation leaves very little hope.
But Maggie's incredible fortitude gets the better of it. The dog recovers and, after a very long journey of care , she manages to regain her smile .
A smile on a disfigured face, a symbol of that unheard-of violence of which only a monster can be capable. Face that leaves the marks of human cruelty. Maggie, in fact, remains completely blind and without an ear.
Still, the dog looks happy. In a very short time she manages to recover completely and also to rediscover that light-heartedness that, after so much suffering, it seemed impossible she could find.
Then, finally, comes his second chance. In fact, a woman named Kasey decides to adopt her, giving the dog Maggie the happy life she never had.
Maggie is fine today. She also joined an association for assistance dogs . Her face, though disfigured, seems the symbol of happiness. With her joie de vivre, despite everything, Maggie manages to give a smile even to those who are really in difficulty.
Empathizing with Maggie's special situation, Kasey Carlin, a 25-year-old woman has registered as the new owner.
Carlin is not shy about Maggie's health problems, the obstacle between them is only a distance of 2500 miles.
Despite this, Carlin still accepted to spend a large amount of money to help bring Maggie back to England. The unfortunate dog was on a plane on a 2,500-mile journey to a new home.
Become the new owner's pet
Carlin had a difficult time emotionally, but as soon as she saw Maggie at the airport, her spirits improved immediately. Carlin recounts:
“I was in tears when I first met Maggie at the airport. My family sympathizes with Maggie's unique situation. I contacted several rescue organizations to ask about special care for the baby.
They say let the baby lie in the house to get used to the environment. But I find it strange that Maggie is getting used to her new family so quickly.
She quickly found a place to sleep alone and motioned for me to take her out to the bathroom. Maggie is clearly well educated.
It was impossible to imagine what circumstances had led to Maggie's dire condition. It is possible that the child's former owner family is no longer able to continue to take care of him.
Maggie roams the real world and is horribly abused by someone. Who would heartlessly want to kill this pure and innocent being with 17 bullets! "
Maggie's new family.
Despite suffering a lot in the past, Maggie is always friendly to everyone.
Now, Maggie has signed up for classes to become a therapy dog.
Every week, Maggie will visit hospitals and schools with her employer to help patients and students improve their mental health.
Maggie's owner, Kasey Carlin, has also been in better spirits since adopting the dog
