Mistreated pregnant dog shot 17 times becomes a registered therapy dog

Maggie is a five-year-old dog who was discovered in Lebanon with her ear severed off and her eyes shot out, suffering helplessly with a broken jaw.

She was pregnant when she was found tied to a box and rescued by the Wild Heart Foundation animal charity. Later she was adopted by an animal lover from Brighton named Kasey Carline, 25.

Maggie has since won the hearts of thousands of people with her unshakable inner strength.

“This is my throw back Thursday! This time last year I started my journey to a new life with my mom and sister. My story isn’t over… in fact it’s only just begun. Will you help me rescue fur friends still out in Lebanon? All are disabled and are in need of someone willing to give them a chance. I know they look sad right now but with love they will all become amazing dogs.” -Maggie #bemoremaggie • • • This time last year Maggie started her rescue journey. She was found and rescued and was in such a sad state. She was given a second chance at life and she seized the opportunity. Look at how happy and full of love she is now. These five disabled dogs deserve that same chance. You can read thief story and donate using the link in the bio.

After she underwent vigorous rehabilitation, Maggie began her training to become an assistance dog.

In a beautiful and heartwarming Instagram post believed to have been written by Kasey, it was revealed that Maggie had passed her therapy dog test.

“Guess what….I am now a registered therapy dog!! Do you think I’ll be able to make people happy?” -Maggie #bemoremaggie #bemoredog • • • As many of you know.. Maggie has a heart that loves unconditionally!Her spirit is infectious! She has a has a big personality. And she has and aurora that is so calming. Her story catches the hearts of many and reminds us all of our inner strength. Since the first time I met Maggie I knew she would make a great therapy dog if she wanted to be. Thankfully we found a charity that not only uses the healing power of dogs but also teaches the importance of animal welfare. Yesterday me and Maggie went to meet with her assessor, @maherandhounddogtraining she flaunted her stuff and gave it her best go and she PASSED. Maggie is now a registered therapy dog with @underdog_international . She and I will speak to schools and work hands on with youngsters. I know what happened to Maggie was horrendous but if her story can educate and inspire others to do good then at least we can do our part to make this world a little brighter. • • • #therapydog #therapydogsrock #therapydogsofinstagram #therapydoglife #dogtherapy #gooddoggos #dogisgood #gooddoggie #gooddoggo #rescuedogs #rescuedogsarethebestdogs #rescuedogsofinsta #rescuedoglife #rescuedoglove #dogslove #lovedogs #doglover #blinddog #dogsofinstagram #dogsoflondon #rescuedogstory #disableddogsofinstagram #dogsaretherapy #dogsaremytherapy

“Guess what? I am now a registered therapy dog! Do you think I’ll be able to make people happy?,” the post read. The post detailed Maggie’s “unconditionally loving heart” and calming personality. 

“Her story catches the hearts of many and reminds us all of our inner strength,” it read.

Kasey said they would visit schools and share Maggie’s story all around now that she has become a verified therapy pooch with Underdog International.

“It is important that you train your hooman well! My hooman is so well trained she goes to work so she can provide me with yummy treats. Then she feeds me those treats for doing the dullest of things like sitting or looking cute. And for any hoomans out there who think they are the ones training their dogs…. may I just remind you of who picks up our poo????” -Maggie #bemoremaggie • • • What is the coolest trick you have taught your dog?? While @theadventuresofmishka is a mini stunt dog Maggie is a lot harder to train. Partly because she’s so stubborn but mostly it’s because she gets so excited about food that she can’t think straight! (Tag someone you know who gets as excited about food as Maggie does!🤣) I think we are going to go simple and teach spin to miss Maggie Moo! At least that will be easier than most as she only has to follow the treat in a circle with her cute nose to learn the trick. ☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I might even be really bold and say we will have successfully taught her the trick and be ready to show you next Tuesday! Are you interested in seeing all our bloopers and hopefully successes? • • • #noeyesnoproblem #disabledanimals #disableddogsofinstagram #disableddog #wildatheartfoundation #daffodils #pupperlove #furbabies #furbabiesrescue #puppycuddles #cuteandfluffy #puppiesandflowers #rescueanimals #rescuefosteradopt #rescuepups #rescueanimal #streetdogsofinstagram #streetdogs

Kasey instantly knew she wanted to give Maggie a loving home as soon as she heard about her through the Wild At Heart Foundation.

“See that glowing ball behind me? That’s the blood moon mom has been raving on about. I think you can tell by my facial expression, what my thoughts on the matter are.”-Maggie #mybediscallingme #bloodmoon2019 • • • Fairly disappointed by my sighting tonight but I’ve been told it’ll be “blood” red first thing in the morning, guess who will be up bright and early trying to catch a glimpse. I’ll try and persuade Maggie to join us but most likely it’ll just be Mishka, Me, and STRONG flask of coffee. Hope you guys have managed to catch a glimpse of not I’ll try and take some videos tomorrow to show you! 🌕 • • • #blinddog #blinddogsofinstagram #blinddogs #blinddogproblems #blinddogsseewiththeirhearts #ukdogsofinsta #dogsofuk #dogsofbark #dogsoflove #dogsofbrighton #rescuefactor #rescuedogsofinsta #rescuepit #rescueismyfavoritebreed #sunset #lunar #beautyisonlyskindeep #beautycomesfromwithin #perfectlyimperfect #beautyisintheeyeofthebeholder #beautyisinthesoul #sassydog #dogswithattitude #funnyfaceselfie #bemoremaggie #smartypaws_ #differentisgood #blindandbeautiful

“Do you love me as much as my new friends…?” – Maggie #bemoremaggie • • • Well what a week it has been! First off I’m sorry for the sad video yesterday I just feel like we have this platform and I need to use it for good. If you would like to donate to help Maggie’s charity there is a link in my bio. @wild_at_heart_foundation So what’s happened this week? Well Maggie and I had a meeting with a very amazing woman. We went on a little stroll with this mystery lady (and her two sausage dogs) scheming up something I know you are going to LOVE! I won’t tell you what it is but I will give you a hint… she’ll need to sign it with her PAW-tograph. I can’t wait to hear your guess! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also we have been practicing for our first school visit as a therapy dog. Our practice includes me talking to myself in the mirror and Maggie standing there and looking cute. It comes so naturally to Mags, she doesn’t even need to practice. I also took the girls to see their favourite friend Anne at our local care home! Biscuits were eaten and cuddles were given, what more could a dog want? Then we ended the day by meeting up with this lovely group of youngster. Maggie is so patience and gentle which still amazes me after everything’s she has been through. So that’s our week in a nutshell! Hope you have an awesome weekend… and enjoy this little video of cute kids loving our Maggie! • • • #rescuepups #rescuepup #whorescuedwho #muttsofinstagram #muttlove #instamutt #disableddog #differentlyabled #noeyesnoproblem #rescuepetsofinstagram #rescuepets #seniorpets #seniordog #seniordogs #dogsofinstagram #cutedogvideos #cutedogvideos #cutepuppies #cutepuppyvideos #happydog #happydogs #happydoglife #happydoghappylife #animalsmakemehappy #animalsarefriends #blinddogs #blinddogsofinstagram #blinddog #sofluffy
