The extraordinary rescue and recovery tale of a sweet Labrador Retriever name Pepper recently won the 1st prize in a challenge conducted by Purina Pro Plan and Rally to Rescue. Based on a MarketWatch.com report, Sheryl Hogan rescued the homeless dog and her Den Animal Rescue team was presented the grand prize in recognition of the efforts they put in to get Pepper back on her feet. When Sheryl found Pepper deserted on the highway in February last year, she refused to leave the traumatized dog alone and ensured that Pepper got all of the professional medical as well as emotional attention she deserved to bring her back to normal.
How Sheryl Hogan found Pepper
Pepper was thrown from a vehicle and left behind on the road. Sheryl happened to observe this outrageous incident on a wintry February day as she was driving back after saving animals scheduled to be put down. If not for Sheryl, Pepper would not have managed to make it through the icy wintry day on her own. Sheryl rescued Pepper and traveled to the veterinarian only to discover that Pepper had sustained quite a few fractures and hip dysphasia. Pepper also showed symptoms of severe hair loss from malnutrition and parasites. She had suffered a lot of emotional trauma, and was quite untrusting and frightened.
Pepper's winning battle against all odds
Sheryl was aware that Pepper necessary physical and emotional care for a long amount of time. Sheryl decided to attend to Pepper herself rather than giving her over to foster homes. Sheryl sat by Pepper for months and talked to her all the time before she slowly but surely began accepting affection through labrador retriever gifts and gained trust. Initially terrified of the smallest disturbances, Pepper soon found her stride and became a very happy pooch. Pepper is currently a permanent member of the Hogan family. Pepper is also an integral part of Hogan's animal rescue shelter. This inspiring account of inner strength and resolve to survive is a ray of hope for many other pet lovers.
