4. Who is Joal?
My mom, Joal, found me
at a no-kill shelter in
Wisconsin. She fell in love
and scooped me up and
took me to many doctors.
Most of them gave me a
grim prognosis, I was
urinary and fecally
incontinent and
paralyzed and mom was
advised to do the “kind
thing”. But ,Doc Jodie at
the Animal Doctor said
that we should give me a
second chance.

22. Kindness
The Sadie Story is so much
more than just the
rehabilitation of a dog
who was shot. The person
or persons who shot her
have no idea of what that
cruel act set into
motion. The kindness of
people worldwide is truly
pure love for a dog who
deserves a second chance
at life.

23. Appreciation
We can all relate to being hurt
either physically or mentally. Life
truly is not fair and sometimes
the ones we love and care about
the most disappoint us. We will
never know what Sadie was
thinking when she was being led
up to the mountain in Kentucky,
but, with no lasting effects of
remembering what happened to
her, we can all learn from Sadie
how to appreciate our daily
blessings to forgive, forget and
move on with the life that we
have left.

24. Acceptance
Accept that we are all
different and that we all
have something wrong with
us, whether others can see it
or not.
Sadie has accepted her
limitations. She shows
children and adults alike
that despite our limitations,
there is a full life ahead of
us. Grab life with all of the
gusto that you can, just like
Sadie does.

25. Update
I am no longer urinary or fecally incontinent! My treatments
are ongoing and prognosis is unknown although I continue to
make progress every day. I am very happy, and healthy. I don’t
remember the past. I have family and friends who love me and I
enjoy making new friends.
