Estaba preñada, le pegaron 17 tiros y la dejaron por muerta. Hoy es perra de terapia

Maggie sobrevivió de milagro a una inhumana agresión. Estando preñada, unos salvajes no tuvieron mejor idea que usarla como objetivo para el tiro al blanco. El animalito recibió 17 impactos y quedó tirada en una calle en Beirut, Líbano, donde fue rescatada y llevada a un refugio para animales. Contra todo pronóstico, la perrita logró sobrevivir, aunque las secuelas de la agresión fueron terribles y permanentes.

Kasey Carlin, una británica amante de los animales y que se dedica a ayudar a los que no tiene hogar, entró en contacto con la historia de Maggie gracias a las redes sociales. Conmovida, decidió adoptarla y darle una nueva vida.
La mujer logró organizar el transporte de Maggie desde el Líbano con la ayuda de la organización protectora de animales Wild At Heart Foundation, según explicó en declaraciones al periódico The Argus.

“Guess what....I am now a registered therapy dog!! Do you think I’ll be able to make people happy?” -Maggie #bemoremaggie #bemoredog • • • As many of you know.. Maggie has a heart that loves unconditionally!Her spirit is infectious! She has a has a big personality. And she has and aurora that is so calming. Her story catches the hearts of many and reminds us all of our inner strength. Since the first time I met Maggie I knew she would make a great therapy dog if she wanted to be. Thankfully we found a charity that not only uses the healing power of dogs but also teaches the importance of animal welfare. Yesterday me and Maggie went to meet with her assessor, @maherandhounddogtraining she flaunted her stuff and gave it her best go and she PASSED. Maggie is now a registered therapy dog with @underdog_international . She and I will speak to schools and work hands on with youngsters. I know what happened to Maggie was horrendous but if her story can educate and inspire others to do good then at least we can do our part to make this world a little brighter. • • • #therapydog #therapydogsrock #therapydogsofinstagram #therapydoglife #dogtherapy #gooddoggos #dogisgood #gooddoggie #gooddoggo #rescuedogs #rescuedogsarethebestdogs #rescuedogsofinsta #rescuedoglife #rescuedoglove #dogslove #lovedogs #doglover #blinddog #dogsofinstagram #dogsoflondon #rescuedogstory #disableddogsofinstagram #dogsaretherapy #dogsaremytherapy

Maggie, cuya edad fue estimada en cinco años, lleva hoy una existencia feliz, lejos de la violencia que casi le cuesta la vida: inspira a los amantes de los animales a través de su cuenta en Instagram, que ya posee más de 100.000 seguidores. Además, visita centros de atención, hospitales y universidades como parte de su trabajo como perro de terapia.

"Sé que lo que le pasó a Maggie fue horrible, pero si su historia puede educar e inspirar a otros a hacer el bien, al menos podemos hacer nuestra parte para hacer que este mundo sea un poco más brillante", subrayó Carlin a través de la cuenta de Instagram de su mascota, según recoge la agencia noticiosa RT.

“Do you love me as much as my new friends...?” - Maggie #bemoremaggie • • • Well what a week it has been! First off I’m sorry for the sad video yesterday I just feel like we have this platform and I need to use it for good. If you would like to donate to help Maggie’s charity there is a link in my bio. @wild_at_heart_foundation So what’s happened this week? Well Maggie and I had a meeting with a very amazing woman. We went on a little stroll with this mystery lady (and her two sausage dogs) scheming up something I know you are going to LOVE! I won’t tell you what it is but I will give you a hint... she’ll need to sign it with her PAW-tograph. I can’t wait to hear your guess! ???????????? Also we have been practicing for our first school visit as a therapy dog. Our practice includes me talking to myself in the mirror and Maggie standing there and looking cute. It comes so naturally to Mags, she doesn’t even need to practice. I also took the girls to see their favourite friend Anne at our local care home! Biscuits were eaten and cuddles were given, what more could a dog want? Then we ended the day by meeting up with this lovely group of youngster. Maggie is so patience and gentle which still amazes me after everything’s she has been through. So that’s our week in a nutshell! Hope you have an awesome weekend... and enjoy this little video of cute kids loving our Maggie! • • • #rescuepups #rescuepup #whorescuedwho #muttsofinstagram #muttlove #instamutt #disableddog #differentlyabled #noeyesnoproblem #rescuepetsofinstagram #rescuepets #seniorpets #seniordog #seniordogs #dogsofinstagram #cutedogvideos #cutedogvideos #cutepuppies #cutepuppyvideos #happydog #happydogs #happydoglife #happydoghappylife #animalsmakemehappy #animalsarefriends #blinddogs #blinddogsofinstagram #blinddog #sofluffy

Carlin asegura que, más allá de la terrible experiencia que sufrió, Maggie es una perrita normal, de dulce carácter y "ánimo contagioso".

"Sin duda pasó por una situación terrible, agónica, pero pese a ello nunca lastimó a nadie. Es muy cariñosa", asegura su nueva dueña.

En cuanto a la idea de llevar a Maggie a las redes sociales, Carlin asegura que su intención es "que todo el mundo vea cómo ella es capa de vivir una vida plena y feliz" a pesar de su calvario.

“It is important that you train your hooman well! My hooman is so well trained she goes to work so she can provide me with yummy treats. Then she feeds me those treats for doing the dullest of things like sitting or looking cute. And for any hoomans out there who think they are the ones training their dogs.... may I just remind you of who picks up our poo????” -Maggie #bemoremaggie • • • What is the coolest trick you have taught your dog?? While @theadventuresofmishka is a mini stunt dog Maggie is a lot harder to train. Partly because she’s so stubborn but mostly it’s because she gets so excited about food that she can’t think straight! (Tag someone you know who gets as excited about food as Maggie does!??) I think we are going to go simple and teach spin to miss Maggie Moo! At least that will be easier than most as she only has to follow the treat in a circle with her cute nose to learn the trick. ?? ???????????? I might even be really bold and say we will have successfully taught her the trick and be ready to show you next Tuesday! Are you interested in seeing all our bloopers and hopefully successes? • • • #noeyesnoproblem #disabledanimals #disableddogsofinstagram #disableddog #wildatheartfoundation #daffodils #pupperlove #furbabies #furbabiesrescue #puppycuddles #cuteandfluffy #puppiesandflowers #rescueanimals #rescuefosteradopt #rescuepups #rescueanimal #streetdogsofinstagram #streetdogs
