In the broken alleys of Lebanon, Maggie, a gentle husky with soft eyes and no voice to scream, wandered the streets in search of scraps and kindness. She had no home, only fleeting moments of mercy from strangers who tossed her leftovers.
But one day, the world turned crueler than ever. Hungry and desperate, Maggie may have rummaged through a trash bin or stolen a bite of food. And for that, someone decided she deserved to suffer.
They used her for target practice.
More than 200 pellets were fired into her body. She was shot with three different types of bullets. When she collapsed, bleeding and gasping, they weren’t done. They gouged out her eyes, sliced off one of her ears, and had begun on the second when a local woman, drawn by Maggie’s agonizing screams, intervened.
By the time help arrived, Maggie’s world had already gone dark. She curled into a hole, blinded, mutilated, and trembling with pain. She lay there, alone and terrified, for three days, waiting to die. But Maggie’s story didn’t end in that hole.
It was just the beginning.
 A local hero stopped the torture before it could get worse, and a small group of compassionate people in Lebanon rallied behind Maggie, offering food, vet visits, and comfort. But it wasn’t until Casey, a dog behaviorist in the UK, saw Maggie’s story online that her true second chance began. She was supposed to just foster her. But the moment Maggie stepped off that plane with stitches, scars, and an unwavering wag of her tail, everything changed.
Maggie wasn’t just surviving. She was glowing. Despite her past, she only wanted love and gave it back tenfold.
With time, Maggie learned to trust, even as night terrors haunted her and loud noises sent her trembling. But under Casey’s patient care, she transformed. She now visits schools, care homes, police mental health weeks, and even prisons, offering comfort only she could understand. Maggie navigates the world without sight, relying on scent, sound, and sheer spirit. She doesn’t know she’s blind, she knows she’s loved.
Maggie’s journey from a brutal life on the streets to becoming a therapy dog is a story of unstoppable resilience. She’s helped raise thousands for charity, brought healing to countless people, and inspired a world that once turned its back on her. One dog with no eyes, no ears, but also has a heart big enough to change lives.
