Hiding in pain and wailing when touched, this dog had been hit by a car, her hind leg fractured and partially degloved; her front leg sliced deeply at the top.

But as soon as she understood she was safe in the arms of her rescuer, this girl stopped howling and wagged her tail. Unbelievable! And when we eased her pain with medication, wound dressing, splint and surgery on her forearm wound, she gave us the most beautiful reward: non-stop smiles filled with love throughout the coming weeks of her healing. Bessie’s one of the precious souls who lives life like a song of gratitude, to the air, the earth; to her animal friends, to us, and to you.
