Baby Moose In Distress
Sep 30, 2009

The following story is one i recently recieved via e-mail. It's inspiring to see those whose true nature is to help and nurture and care. I would love to know the out come. Please let me know if you have seen this story or know of any up-dates.

 

 

 

A baby moose was in distress in a creek in Minnesota.

A man got him out of the creek; tried to find the mother & send him on his way, but eventually the moose stumbled back into the creek & was rescued again.

The baby moose followed the man home. The man has only a small cabin so he took the moose to another neighbor, who took these photos. They took the moose the next day to a woman who looks after wild animals & she put it in a pen with a rescued fawn.

You gotta meet Molly....pony who survived Hurricane Katrina!
Jul 1, 2009
Name: Molly
Type: Tribute (for the living)
To Honor: Pet(s)
Location: , United States
Meet Molly.She's a grey speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when
Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana. She spent weeks on her own before
finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled.

While there, she was attacked by a pit Bull terrier and almost died. Her gnawed right
front leg became infected, and her vet went to LSU for help, but LSU was
overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.

But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind. He saw how
the pony was careful to lie down on different sides so she didn't seem
to get sores, and how she allowed people to handle her. She protected
her injured leg. She constantly shifted her weight and didn't overload
her good leg. She was a smart pony with a serious survival ethic.

Moore agreed to remove her leg below the knee,and a temporary artificial
limb was built. Molly walked out of the clinic and her story really begins there.

'This was the right horse and the right owner,' Moore insists. Molly happened
to be a one-in-a-million patient. She's tough as nails, but sweet, and she was
willing to cope with pain. She made it obvious she understood that she was in
trouble. The other important factor, according to Moore, is having a truly committed
and compliant owner who is dedicated to providing the daily care required over the
lifetime of the horse.

Molly's story turns into a parable for life in Post-Katrina Louisiana. The little pony
gained weight, and her mane finally felt a comb. A human prosthesis designer built
her a leg.

The prosthetic has given Molly a whole new life, Allison Barca DVM, Molly's regular
vet, reports. And she asks for it. She will put her little limb out, and come to you
and let you know that she wants you to put it on. Sometimes she wants you to take
it off too. And sometimes, Molly gets away from Barca. 'It can be pretty bad when
you can't catch a three-legged horse,' she laughs.

Most important of all, Molly has a job now. Kay, the rescue farm owner, started
taking Molly to shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Anywhere
she thought that people needed hope. Wherever Molly went, she showed people her
pluck. She inspired people, and she had a good time doing it.

'It's obvious to me that Molly had a bigger role to play in life, Moore said. She
survived the hurricane, she survived a horrible injury, and now she is giving hope to
others.'  Barca concluded, 'She's not back to normal, but she's going to be better. To
me, she could be a symbol for New Orleans itself.'



This is Molly's most recent prosthesis. The bottom photo shows the ground surface that she stands on, which has a smiley face embossed in it. Wherever Molly goes, she leaves a smiley
hoof print behind.



Forward this and share it with all of the
animal lovers that you know.

God's creatures often reflect the
character we aspire to.
