Molly, the Brave Little Pony 勇敢的小马茉莉
This special little horse shares hope wherever she goes
by Pamela Osment
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina brought death and destruction to Mississippi and Louisiana. Humans weren’t the only ones affected by the terrible storm. Around 600,000 animals died or were left by their owners during the hurricane. A little pony named Molly was one of the animals left behind. After three weeks, neighbors rescued her and moved her to a farm.
Bad luck
Molly joined other rescued animals there in what everyone thought was a safe place. But for the pony, her good luck turned bad. While the new owner was away, a dog attacked Molly and seriously injured her. Molly’s right front leg needed to be amputated. Since horses with missing legs rarely survive, the doctors didn't want to remove it. But after they met Molly, they agreed that she could have the surgery. They felt she had a strong will to live. On january 16,2006, doctors removed Molly's leg just below the knee. Every believed the surgery would give her a fighting chance.
