A few days ago, Dippin’ Dottie was fighting for her life in the brutal cold, surviving alone in an abandoned building as temperatures dropped into the single digits. The ice was so thick it wouldn’t melt, and when rescuers found her, blood trailed behind her in the snow—her paws raw from the freezing ground.
Dottie wanted to trust, but fear kept her from coming close. After hours of patience, a warm meal finally lured her into safety. With the help of two compassionate officers, she was carried down a treacherous, ice-covered staircase and loaded into a warm Jeep—the first real warmth she had felt in a long time.
Now, this 2-year-old, 49-pound cuddlebug is making up for lost time with endless kisses and snuggles. The moment she realized she was safe, she melted into her rescuers’ laps, showing nothing but gratitude, love, and the biggest heart imaginable.
