Sunny got adopted to a loving forever family that treats her like royalty.  However, her story could have been very different if someone hadn’t found her when they did and rescue her.  She’s gone from a dog that knew only fear and abuse, to a pampered pooch.

Thankfully, someone called 911 on May 12^th of 2015.  They came across Sunny, hanging by her jaw in a park in Arizona.  When she was rescued, it was found that she had a slew of injuries to her jaw, and brain damage that would require intensive surgery and after care.

The case got international attention.  Donations came in for Sunny from all over the world.  Almost $25,000 was raised to help her through her injuries, and into her recovery.  After a long and arduous battle with medical issues, the search for a forever family for Sunny was on.

On December 18^th, Sunny went home to a real family that would love her forever.  So far, they’ve showered her with love, affection and attention.  She’s been on two family road trips so far, and even went through ten weeks of obedience school.  She’s a huge fan of playing fetch, and loves watching over the family’s three rescued cats.

Sunny sure has come a long way from the horrifically abused dog she was, to the fully fledged family member she is today.  Without all the hard work of the rescue crew, the medical staff and the family that now loves her, Sunny wouldn’t have made it this far, and anyone that has ever rescued a dog before knows, they are always the most thankful creatures of all.

Angels Among Us Pet Rescue of Atlanta, Georgia rescued Denny and Drummond together back in November of 2014. Both dogs, believed to be cocker spaniel mixes, had shown signs of serious neglect and abuse, and due to an unchecked eye and skin infection, Denny was left almost totally blind.

Even in the horrific state these two were in when picked up, they were still as sweet as a dog could ever be.  One of the founding members of Angles Among Us, Karen Wallace, picked up the pair from a vet so they brought to their shelter.  Even covered in sores and rashes, under-fed and very, very scared, they were just so friemdly, and Wallace couldn’t get over how affectionate the two still were.

Over time, and with lots of love and medical attention the two were getting much better health wise.  However, it was noticed that Drummond pretty much refused to leave his best friend Denny’s side.  You couldn’t pry the two apart with a crowbar.

At first, it just seemed like a strong bond of kinship had developed between the two because of their similar backgrounds.  Upon closer inspection, it turned out Drummond somehow knew that Denny was suffering badly from cataracts and an eye infection, leaving him almost totally blind.  Drummond’s eyesight wasn’t exactly the best either, but it was enough to get the around safety, and Denny became a seeing-eye-dog

Lance White, CEO of Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, is amazed at how much the dogs go out of their way to make sure the other is alright.  He said, “(Drummond is) younger and he’s really looking out for the older one.  We just feel like they’re family. I feel like they’re family.”

It’s pretty much a given that if anyone wants to adopt either of these guys, they come as a pair.  According to White, it’s a mandatory thing that they remain together after adoption.

Poor Tony would hardly ever move, even after two surgeries and weeks of healing. He would only get up when it was time to eat. One day, his rescuers introduced him to a bunch of cute rescue puppies. They wanted to see if the puppies would help Tony heal his broken heart.
