The Mississippi Miracle - Memory Lane Part 3
July 25, 2021
Jackson, MS to Matawan, NJ
Elsa (changed to Memphis)
Memphis was a young husky that was found shot in the hips, paralyzed, and abandoned on the side of a Mississippi road where she lay in the sweltering summer heat for 3 days in July 2021.
Thankfully, she was found and rescued by some very caring people, given immediate medical care, and transported to New Jersey where she would get further medical evaluation and care. It took 4 planes and an entire day to bring Memphis from Mississippi to New Jersey. She also needed medications along the way.
Little did any of her rescuers know at the time, but they weren't just saving one life. They were saving four. Memphis was pregnant.
On September 12, 2021 Memphis gave birth to three beautiful, healthy babies. 2 boys, and 1 girl.
This video is our tribute to this incredibly strong little girl who defied all odds to not only save herself, but to save her beautiful babies as well.
This story is also a reminder to rescuers everywhere that you really do make a difference. Never let the bad days win!
