You Saved Scooter's Life...





http://www.soidog.org/emails/ScooterMailing1/ScooterMailingOnlineVersion.html


Dear Friend of Soi Dog,

I will never forget the shock I felt the first time I laid eyes on Scooter. She was dragging herself along on the ground because both her hind legs had been hacked off. Her spine was broken.

Scooter's lower body was covered in open, infected sores. They were infested with maggots, indicating that she had been living like this for some time. Her underside was swollen from where she pulled herself along on the ground, leaving her incontinent.

We will never know what happened to Scooter or how she came to lose her back legs. We will never know how long she suffered with her badly broken spine. What I do know is that without people like you, she would not be alive today.

FULL story at link. Marta and I donate to Soi Dog.


Once arriving in the U.S. Scooter's life changed. She was fitted with a custom made cart and for the first time in a very long time, she could walk!
