This true story is mostly about Donna Lawrence and her husband Roy. Donna is attacked by a pit bull dog. The attack has long-lasting effects on her. A short time after that, Donna and her friend are walking and come upon a dog that was badly beaten and burned; ironically, it is a pit bull puppy.
Donna can't leave the puppy. She names her Susie and, against all odds, she raises the money to pay for Susie's medical care and recovery. Her friend Ramona is supportive, and her husband is at first reluctant...then very supportive. Together, Donna and Susie both recover and heal from their injuries.
Together, Donna and her husband seek justice for Susie both by seeing her attacker punished, and working to get 'Susie's Law' passed, which increased the penalty for animal cruelty or abuse..in my very own state of North Carolina :).
Special acting KUDO's to Burgess Jenkins, who played Roy Lawrence; I felt his acting was the most realistic and credible. His responses to various events in the story were very natural, instinctive and genuine.
I admit I love animals and I'm a sucker for an animal story, but this is a really heartwarming story that I proudly recommend.
