 Pit Bull Mix Crowned This Year's Hero Dog
Pit Bull mix overcomes odds, brings hope to both animals and people
How remarkable is this story?
A therapy dog named Susie was named this year's Hero Dog at the star studded 2014 American Humane Society Hero Dog Awards. Susie's journey to this juncture is nothing short of amazing. The Pit Bull mix from High Point, North Carolina overcame horrifying abuse and went on to become a therapy dog, working alongside a woman who overcame terrible trauma of her own.
Susie was only a puppy when her owner beat her savagely and set her on fire, leaving her for dead in a local park in Greensboro, North Carolina. After being rescued by a local animal shelter and nursed back to health, she was adopted by Donna Lawrence, who had been the victim of a terrible dog attack that nearly killed her and left her without the ability to have children. Working side by side, Donna and Susie continue to make the world a better place for others by visiting hospitals, schools, and nursing homes to inspire people never to give up. If that's not heroic, we don't know what is. Way to go Susie and Donna. Your strength of character is inspiring.
