Maggie the Wonder Dog

Maggie is a modern-day hero. It’s hard to imagine how a dog can be so loving and friendly after being put through so much abuse. Maggie was 5 years old when she was found in Lebanon in a horrifying condition. She was shot 17 times in her eyes and all over her body. As if this wasn’t enough her ear was cut off, and then it was discovered that she was pregnant and beaten up during the pregnancy. The person who rescued the dog, found her tied to a box. Luckily, after posting about Maggie on social media, Wild at Heart Foundation helped rescue the dog. Once rescued she had to undergo surgeries and treatments. Kasey Carlin from Brighton, England saw Maggie on social media and wanted to adopt her. They met at the airport and Kasey was unable to hold the tears. Maggie was taken to her new home and treated properly.
