After Being Shot 17 Times, A Pregnant Dog Survives, Finds Forever Home, And Becomes A Registered Therapy Dog
5-year-old Maggie is truly a miracle dog given the hardships she has already faced in order to survive.
It was in Lebanon where her story of strength and resilience began. Maggie was found tied to a box with one ear cut off and a broken jaw. Whilst still pregnant, Maggie was beaten and then shot 17 times with a shotgun which resulted in the total loss of her vision.

A person in Lebanon discovered the poor dog and wrote a post asking for help. A woman in London saw the plea and got help from The Wild At Heart Foundation. Maggie was rescued. However, she had to undergo surgeries and other treatments before she was placed for adoption and before finding her forever home in Brighton, England.

25-year-old Kasey Carlin is the owner of Maggie, who is now a celebrity on the Internet, with over 248,000 followers on her Instagram. Her success was so great, Kasey left her job at a dog-care center and devoted her time to managing Maggie’s Instagram account full-time.

“She has taught me and others so many lessons, we all know the lessons she stands for, we were taught them as kids. She reminds me everyday of them, though. Treat others how you want to be treated, don’t judge a book by its cover, love conquers all, be humble, live life to the fullest, help others, you create your own happiness, you can do anything if you believe! Everyday she reminds me to try to be better and do better” – Kasey told Bored Panda.

Maggie has recently become a therapy dog and has been visiting hospitals, nursing homes and universities where everyone can feel the peace and joy in her. At home, in addition to her owners, Maggie has also stolen the heart of Mishka, Kasey’s other dog.

“I’m amazed everyday that so many people are invested in her story. For so long, no one cared about her, when I agreed to foster her it was because no one else wanted to! I’m glad she can share such a positive message with the world” – finishes Kasey.

While I believe in tolerance, cruelty, particularly cruetly against those who would never be cruel is something that I do not comprehend, for I would consider empathy as the most humane of all human traits. I think we should be far less tolerant with those that decide that hurting living beings is tolerable.
She looks happy now, thank goodness. There is a special place in hell for those who abuse animals.
As an owner of a rescue from a dog fight house, I admire this woman and the resilience of this amazing pup! Thank you for a little more glimmer of hope and love in the world! He is now where he should and needs to be! I cannot love this more!
It hurts my heart to know that someone could be so cruel. I'm so happy that Maggie is getting the life she deserves.
Indeed, she seems even tougher than Chuck Norris. :)))
Load More Replies... How much must be wrong in the head of a person to do all this to a dog that, most probably, loved this person unconditionally before and maybe even after they abused it so heavily? I am so impressed how Maggie could survive this, and how she still seems to be able to be happy. This once again proves that dogs are the better humans.
This dogs resilience is incredible, what an absolute gorgeous dog. I hope whoever did this is found, too bad the same torture can’t be done to them in return. I’m so glad this dog has found a happy and forever home.
Yeah, either that or prosecute him lawfully and not commit more violence and torture.

This dog deserves infinite patience, love, and admiration. For an animal to go through what Maggie did and still recover is God's hand at work, for sure. I hope the previous owner gets to experience what he did to her, over and over again, in hell.
Though I do believe that violence brings more violence, as in every case, there are exceptions--> This is one! I would definitely hurt these kind of people exactly in the same way they hurt animals(or kids for that matter), so they would feel what they did! There are just too many people on Earth by now (and more and more idiots), and since we've been surpressing natural selection amongst us, and give a chance to all human beings, many of them prove they don't deserve life as it is, because they are destroying the wildlife and nature for us, normal people, who care about our surrounding! I loose my faith in humanity step by step!
The human that did this to this beautiful girl should be tortured slowly for the rest of their life. They should be given the absolute BEST health care so they live as long as possible... while they are tortured in nightmarish conditions.
Maggie must have suffered, in pain, and no vision, and so afraid, thank God she was rescued,and now with a wonderful family, and a buddy to cuddle with, it is sickening to know such a person or people did this, what bothers me is the fact that there is no justice, I doubt they will be caught, even more frightening, is the thought that someone to do this to a helpless animal, are capable to do the same to a child, or any human, we can only hope, that person dies, somehow in the near future !!!
What a truly beautiful and amazingly resilient dog. It is incredible how an animal that has been through such pain is able to rise above and spread love and compassion to others. Maggie’s love is infectious and I hope that continues to live out a life filled with joy. Thank you to the person in Lebanon who was watching over this sweet dog and to Kasey for giving her a second chance and lease on life.
Just makes you think, for every doggo that gets a happy ending, how many others never get that chance. The cruelty of some people really beggars belief.
Very nice story, but I cannot help thinking about all the Syrian refugee children in Lebanon that so desperately need help. This tells me that it is much, much easier to rescue a dog from the Middle East to the UK than it is to help a human child from there, maybe maimed by an equal amount of bullets. 'Tis a trange world we live in.
I think human species should be eradicated of this planet. We are capable of such amazing things. But we are also capable of awful dark sh*t.
nyaawwwwwww! My heart just melted a bit! The compassion and generosity of some people just makes me feel so happy!
it breaks my heart and angers me that someone could be so evil that they would shoot an innocent dog not one but seventeen mf times >:(
No matter how much harm this dog has had, it is truly a beautiful doggo. I cried at the end to :,)
Words can't say enough about animal cruelty. Thank god she survived and is safe. I hope that karma comes down hard on the monster who tried to kill her.
I hope that the person who did this had a living hell for the rest of his life and he probably had/have since it's Lebanon.
The story literally said that she was adopted by a 24 year old woman named Kasey from Brighton, England.

And one more thing thank you with my whole heart for recueing Maggie u are a beautiful person and I wish thier were more. Thank you
How could anyone hurt her or any animal that's sad I can't understand how god allows so much hurt in the world to animals and to each other
Hmm nice for the dog and everything but it feels like they're exploiting it. Can't someone do something good without profiting or peacocking?
The things I would do if I found the person that did that... grrrr. I'm so glad she's happy now and helping people! ^ ^ <3
Aww...I’m pretty sure my heart is melting from the warmth of this story :)
Did her babies make it? It said she was pregnant but I couldn't see anything about her puppies. I just want to hold her forever, she's such a good doggo.
Wait - you can potentially make a living with an Instagram channel of your dog??? *goes to open an Instagram account*
Oh, there’s someone in Lebanon who fully deserves an a*s-whoopin’ and 17 slugs in their head. And probably will get them too, for eternity, once Old Scratch (Satan) gets ahold of them.
The person probably would've reloaded dumbass
