Our Truest Survivor—came through a viscious dog attack. This is the photo we sent the vet clinic after we treated him inside for 2 weeks with IM antibiotics and wound lavage. They just HAD to see what a recovery was made! he had a huge hole in his back! The vet clinic made a big deal out of him on their facebook page. I was blown away…so many sincere loving comments from complete strangers poured in. it was one of my first beautiful experiences on social media.
