In a true love story, Firefly, renamed Bess by her adoptee Dad, was never supposed to survive her injuries.  She was intentionally burnt by cruel, heartless people over 80% of her body.  She is the real poster child of how loving and forgiving a shelter dog can be.

Often shelter dogs are overlooked because people mistakenly think there is something “wrong” with the dogs because they have been abandoned or found as a stray.  But that is not always the case or even if it is, it is not the dog’s fault.
