A street dog was severely abused and went blind. But she didn’t give up her will to live. Today her story inspires thousands of people.
Beirut – It can hardly be worse for a street animal: Dog Maggie grew up in Lebanon (*FR reported) and was on her own. She was completely at the mercy of her attackers, who inflicted physical torment on her. The dog was found chained to a box and had 17 gunshot wounds.
Her ear was severed, both eyes were missing and her jaw was broken, as reported by boredpanda.com. In addition, the poor street dog was pregnant. Someone had beaten and shot her, causing her to lose her sight. Luckily, Maggie was found.
Dog Maggie: Used as a therapy dog
Her rescuer wanted to give the dog a better life and took her to Beirut. That’s where Maggie was nursed. The finder posted a desperate call for help for the bitch online. The animal protection organization Wild at Heart Foundation from Great Britain then became aware of Maggie and wanted to find a home for the stray dog. Through the organization’s involvement, Englishwoman Kasey Carlin found out about the dog lady’s sad story and adopted her.
