Susie’s Hope {Review}
To say that Susie’s Hope is an incredible story of love, loss and redemption just doesn’t begin to touch the levels of feelings you will go through while watching this movie. I was so moved by this film. From anger over the mistreatment of animals to tears of joy as this dog helps others while being healed itself. This is so true of us too. We are the ones that usually get more in return when we reach out and show love to someone else.
This movie is based on a true story that lead to the passing of the North Carolina Susie’s Law, which seeks stricter punishment for those that abuse animals. Susie’s Hope shares the life experiences of Donna Lawrence who survived a pit bull attack and Susie, the pit bull-mix puppy that was found beaten, burned and left for dead.
Understanding that abuse and neglect were the factors for her attack that nearly claimed her life 10 months earlier, Donna rescues the battered animal and slowly starts to love her. The storyline of how they help each other to heal, love and forgive is so precious.
About Susie:
Susie was found nearly dead in Greenfield Park in Greensboro, North Carolina on August 20, 2009. Just a puppy, Susie had licked the face of her owner’s newborn baby. Her owner became violent—she was beaten so severely her jaw was broken. That wasn’t enough, though. She was then set on fire and left for dead. Incredibly and against all odds Susie survived. Donna Lawrence adopted her two months later. Susie is now a trained therapy dog and event won the American Humane Association’s American Hero Dog this year!
Susie’s Hope stars Emmanuelle Vaguer from 40 Days and 40 Nights, Burgess Jenkins from Remember The Titans and Andrea Powell from Ender’s Game and The Twilight: Breaking Dawn Saga: Part 2.
