The Rehabilitation of

Sadie:

A Dog’s Miraculous

Journey after an Act of

Animal Cruelty

I am Sadie…

Who is Joal?

My mom, Joal, found me

at a no-kill shelter in

Wisconsin. She fell in love

and scooped me up and

took me to many doctors.

Most of them gave me a

grim prognosis, I was

urinary and fecally

incontinent and

paralyzed and mom was

advised to do the “kind

thing”. But ,Doc Jodie at

the Animal Doctor said

that we should give me a

second chance.

Our Story…

I had the bullet removed from

between my eyes. The bullet and

shrapnel in my back are too deeply

embedded to remove.

After recuperating from surgery, I started

rehabilitation and daily therapy.

Kindness

The Sadie Story is so much

more than just the

rehabilitation of a dog

who was shot. The person

or persons who shot her

have no idea of what that

cruel act set into

motion. The kindness of

people worldwide is truly

pure love for a dog who

deserves a second chance

at life.

Appreciation

We can all relate to being hurt

either physically or mentally. Life

truly is not fair and sometimes

the ones we love and care about

the most disappoint us. We will

never know what Sadie was

thinking when she was being led

up to the mountain in Kentucky,

but, with no lasting effects of

remembering what happened to

her, we can all learn from Sadie

how to appreciate our daily

blessings to forgive, forget and

move on with the life that we

have left.

Acceptance

Accept that we are all

different and that we all

have something wrong with

us, whether others can see it

or not.

Sadie has accepted her

limitations. She shows

children and adults alike

that despite our limitations,

there is a full life ahead of

us. Grab life with all of the

gusto that you can, just like

Sadie does.

Update

I am no longer urinary or fecally incontinent! My treatments

are ongoing and prognosis is unknown although I continue to

make progress every day. I am very happy, and healthy. I don’t

remember the past. I have family and friends who love me and I

enjoy making new friends.
