Found abandoned in Lebanon, pup Maggie was rescued by the Wild At Heart Foundation.

With over 17 bullet wounds the five year old pooch was left blind and missing an ear.

But this pooch stole the hearts of the world with her incredible bravery and strength to keep living.

"Who's first for their free hug?!" -Maggie #bemoremaggie * * * Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans? Me and the girls are going on some long walks and cuddling on the sofa! Can't wait to take them out tomorrow morning. It's been so hot that I'm getting up early and heading to the beach while the tide is out! Cute puppies and sandy toes... what more could a furbaby mama ask for?? * * * #rescuedogsofinstagram #lifeofdogs #blinddog #blinddogs #blinddogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofig #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinsta #rescuedogsrule #bighug #netflixdogstory #netflixdogs #dogsofsocal #dogsofig #muttsofinsta #differentlyabled #wildatheartfoundation #dogsarefamily #freehugs #bestwoof #rescuedogsuk

Working closely Wild At Heart helped to rehabilitate and save Maggie from her horrible past life.

Soon she started showing her cheeky personality and grew into the loving bubbly pup she was born to me!

Training to be an assistance dog Maggie revealed on her Instagram page that she has passed and is an official therapy dog!

"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
