This is the inspiring story of Lily, a puppy born with a rare disability.
Lily was only four minutes old, nursing at her mother’s side; already milk was pouring out of her nose and mouth, soaking her and everything around her. Receiving so little nourishment, she wasn’t thriving, and within weeks she had a respiratory infection. Euthanasia was compassionately suggested to spare her further distress – even if she lived at all. Against all the odds, however, her owner decided that this sweet little puppy should have a chance at life.

Laura weaned Lily early, letting her lick puppy mousse from her fingertip. A month later, she was hand-feeding Lily pieces of water-soaked puppy kibble one at a time during frequent feeds, but still the puppy choked with almost every swallow. Eventually, Lily was diagnosed with a swallowing disability ... extremely rare ... and incurable.

Amazingly, Lily has survived against the odds, due to the creative and intensive management of her condition. Her story may give hope to others, and inspire them not to give up their animals who may have life-threatening conditions.

Lily even became a Pets As Therapy dog, and helps in schools and residential care homes – she truly is a working miracle.

Laura was born and raised in Canada. She later lived in the USA with three dogs and three cats, before moving to England to marry Jim, a British Airways captain.

Months after Jim died from cancer, Laura bought a Golden Retriever puppy, naming her ‘Pilot’ for Jim.

Two years later, desiring a family ‘life experience,’ Laura bred Pilot. When Pilot’s puppy, Lily, was born with a life-threatening disability, it was feared she would die. Under Laura’s devoted care, however, Lily became a miracle dog, surviving against the odds to live life to the full!
