Mama Dog With Broken Spine Loves Running And Playing With Her New Owner
Malorie Thompson
When Jessie was hit by a car in the township of De Doorns in South Africa, her future looked grim. You see, she'd just had a litter of puppies who desperately needed her, but her owner didn't have the means to care for her or the puppies.
Thankfully, the animal rescue Sidewalk Specials stepped in to save not only the puppies but Jessie too.

Somehow, she defied all odds and continued walking and caring for her pups. However, it was clear that she couldn't return to her previous home and life. It was too hard on her given her delicate health situation.

Since finding a forever home, Jessie can't stop running and playing! She loves her new life, and it's so precious to witness.

A lot of dogs in Jessie's situation might've been euthanized due to her spine.
