If you google Xena the Warrior Puppy and go to images, if you can stand it, you'll get more photos of what this poor creature survived. And apparently she survived it with enough soul to, in turn, rescue a little guy who needed her.

7. As a former therapy dog owner I believe in that power.

If we treated one another with the sheer good faith that dogs treat us I think we'd have few problems. And we'd do some powerful healing.
