Life can throw some dark and horrible situations our way, but one puppy, given slim chances of survival, beat the odds and is now thriving!

Animals, especially dogs, seem to have the uncanny ability to come back in a big way when things appear bleak. One video posted on YouTube shows the stunning transformation of a dog who was likely to die. 

The video begins by showing Penny in rough shape. The text in the video reads that doctors stated, “there was no way to save her life.” However, those doctors were proven wrong!

But in the following clip, the animal’s inspiring journey back to health is apparent. The text reads, “after a blood transfusion, Penny started to come back.” The animal, held in and wrapped in a blue towel, is fed. 

In the next scene, the animal continues to rebound as it lays on its back while someone plays with the cute puppy. It almost even appears to be smiling! 

Then Penny is reunited with her mother. The video shows Penny struggling to reach her mother as it attempts to nurse. The following few quick clips perfectly capture the progress of the animal. Penny is spotted playing and curiously roaming down the halls. 

However, the clip does not end until showing Penny as a full-grown dog, who has recently graduated from obedience training. Penny is now looking for a forever home, the clip informs viewers.

The clip almost has to be two different dogs. From the sickly-looking puppy at the beginning to the happy, fun-loving dog at the end, Penny’s transformation is amazing!

Life can be cruel, putting us in awful positions where winning does not seem at all possible. However, just as Penny shows us, we cannot give up because you never ever know what God has planned!

James 1:12 “There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God’s approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.”
