This post isn't about dogs but is about a great rescue story that I encourage all of you to read. I am only providing a brief summary of Molly's story here and will provide links to more details about Molly at the end of this entry. Molly is a pony who was abandoned by her owners when hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana. While in a shelter she was attacked by a pit bull terrier. Though her injuries were extremely severe, she displayed an incredible tenacity to live. Fate clearly brought surgeon Rustin Moore and Molly together. He saw something special in Molly...a serious survival ethic.
Moore removed her severely damaged leg below the knee and gave her a temporary artificial limb. After the surgery, Molly became more healthy. A human prosthesis designer built her a leg. Now she visits nursing homes, rehab centers, hospitals and shelters. She inspires people. And she had a good time in the process.
Moore notes that, "It's obvious to me that Molly had a bigger role to play in life. She survived the hurricane, she survived a horrible injury, and now she is giving hope to others."
Molly the Pony, a children's book about the pony who has already inspired thousands of people around New Orleans , has been published.
