 Lilac the dog's story is a testament to the resilience of animals and the power of love and care. Despite the horrific abuse and injuries she suffered, Lilac was determined to survive and thrive.

It all began when a kind runner found Lilac hiding behind a vehicle in Atlanta, Georgia. The poor dog had a broken jaw and leg, and had been badly beaten by other dogs and unknown people. However, even in her weakened state, Lilac mustered up the courage to approach the runner, as if she knew she was being rescued.

Thankfully, Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs in New York took Lilac in and provided her with immediate emergency treatment. During further veterinarian testing, it was discovered that Lilac had stomach injuries caused by a gunshot wound.

Lilac's journey to recovery was not an easy one. The vets were unable to save her limb, but they worked miracles to repair the rest of her body. Lilac may only have three legs for the time being, but she is on the mend.

Through it all, Lilac remained a beacon of hope and love. Her rescuers describe her as "the kind of dog that makes you take a deep breath, sit back, and appreciate the relationship with mutual openness." Despite the lifetime of suffering and terror she had endured, Lilac still wanted to love, give, and connect.

And the outpouring of love and support Lilac received is truly heartwarming. Her rescuers said, "She may have lost her limb, but she has a universe-sized family." People from all around the world have been sending her love and well-wishes.
