Minnie Found!

Miracle Minnie!

Minnie was finally found in the deep Ocean County

Pinelands by a hunter and his wife. As they were going

down a trail road, a black head with propped ears

popped up, then disappeared. When they went to

investigate, they found Minnie lying on her side,

unable to stand. She had been lost in the woods for 29

days. She was dehydrated, and starving. So thin, she

was just skin and bones. They immediately took her to

the address on Minnie's ID tag, and she was rushed to

a local animal hospital. Normally she weighs 17-18 lbs.,

but at the hospital she only weighed 7.3 lbs. After an

exam and blood testing, she was placed on a steady diet

of mushy dog food. She is now doing well, back home

with her family, and slowly regaining her weight and

strength. No words can express the gratitude to Jim and

Cathy for finding her, and also the nice boy who lives

on 1st Street, for helping them find Minnie's home.

If they had not found her, the following weekend had

an 8-9 inch snow, with freezing temperatures. Thank

you so much for finding her when you did. As Cathy

stated, she is truly a Miracle Minnie!
