The story of the pregnant dog who was shot 17 times and abandoned in Lebanon, only to become a registered therapy dog, is both heartbreaking and uplifting.
This dog’s ordeal began when she was found in Lebanon, severely injured and left for dead. She had been shot multiple times, and the trauma she endured was compounded by her being abandoned while pregnant. Despite these severe injuries, she survived, and her story caught the attention of animal rescue organisation.
After her rescue, the dog received extensive medical treatment to address her injuries and to care for her puppies. Her recovery was long and challenging, involving multiple surgeries and rehabilitative care. Despite the pain and suffering she endured, her resilience and the care she received helped her to heal both physically and emotionally.
Once she was well enough, her rehabilitation included training to become a therapy dog. The transformation from a victim of cruelty to a compassionate therapy animal is truly remarkable. Her role as a therapy dog allows her to provide comfort and support to people in need, showcasing her incredible strength and the power of healing.
Her journey underscores the potential for recovery and change, even in the face of extreme adversity, and highlights the positive impact that rescued animals can have on others.
