The Amazing Journey of Juliet: Victory over Two Fatal Conditions
A little street dog named Juliet battled against not one, but two fatal illnesses that threatened to take her life in the depths of hopelessness, where death's shadow loomed huge. With maggots ravaging half of her face and her emaciation, she also had to deal with the sometimes lethal canine distemper infection.
Juliet's life was in danger for many days as rescuers got ready for the difficult work that lay ahead. It seemed impossible to recover from a terrible wound and battle against distemper at the same time, which required extraordinary effort. Her body was weak and beaten, her sufferings a monument to the brutality of fate.
But Juliet seemed to have an unbreakable soul burning within of her, not her body. Every day she fought against the darkness that threatened to swallow her and against the odds. She battled valiantly for weeks under intense care and unfailing devotion, not giving in to the darkness that wanted to take her.
And then a miracle happened against all the chances. From the lowest points of hopelessness, Juliet rose, her body restored and her soul more powerful than ever. She disproved the statistics and demonstrated with every stride that love and tenacity can overcome even the greatest obstacles.
These days, Juliet is a living example of the transformational power of compassion and the tenacity of the canine spirit, a bright light of inspiration. Her experience reminds us that there is always hope for a better future, no matter how bad things may look.
Let us so honor Juliet's amazing journey and the miracle of her survival. Since in her victory we find courage, hope, and the unflinching conviction that miracles do indeed happen, even under the worst of circumstances.
