Reminds me of a tv show I like where the mom said to the dad (of their daughter), basically, "this is her seed, and we need to water it until it becomes her tree." This girl is amazing in no small part because her parents are amazing.
@aBXANneDoned InTheUSA that's also a good name but starfish is better because if some person like wants to know starfish story she can just say the reason why we named our dog starfish is when our dog was little he had swimmer syndrome but Patrick is also good though it's nice good idea 👍
Elizabeth Culver Edwards - Yes, instead of half of them turning to drinking , drugs or getting into trouble when there down, depressed or whatever. A Fog would drastically change most kids lives and show them responsibility and help out millions of dogs world wide !
Milo Zabál, first of all, you are very, *very* rude. Second, may we address the fact that you didn’t have to say that, ‘cause nobody cares that you hate Dory. SHUT THE HELL UP
I think that starfish is the most amazing dog ever. She has inspired many people to not lose hope! She has showed us that you should believe in yourself and to doubt in what you want. I read the book from dodo called Starfishes story. It showed her point of view. When she first started PT she thought in her mind "Hi new people, i'm excited for today. I'm never gonna give. I want to walk!"
I once found a small kitty with her back part all ruined and broken and after a month she was able to walk on 3 feets and it was the best month of my life
Bless again people like this young lady. Her spirit never gave up on this precious little sentient's life. Frankly some vets just disappoint me so. Starfish is a wonder.
Starfish's story reminds me of "It Mattered to that one" story. An old man walks along a beach and sees a young boy throwing something into the water. As he approaches, he sees hundreds of starfish lining the beach, washed in from the tide. The young boy is rushing around, throwing the starfish back into the water one by one. The old man asks why he bothers, it’s pointless. There are too many starfish to help them all. As he flings a starfish deep into the water, the young boy replies, “It mattered to that one.” Thank you to Maggie and her family. It matters to your Starfish. You have given her a blessed life.
That young woman is extremely special. What a huge heart, and talk about true love, dedication, and devotion to her animal. And what a precious pup! So resilient and strong! Proud of them both! 💜💜
"We spend all of our time together because... well, she doesn't have a say in it. She can't just walk away." this is adorable but this got me cracking up so bad for no reason
Me at the beginning: Oh, this is gonna be a lovely story about a disabled puppy learning to live despite her disability. Me at the midpoint: Oh, OH, this dog's gonna walk and I'm gonna cry my eyes out.
Yes! They should be proud. I’m part of the generation that grew up with the first introduction to the internet and social media. I experienced the before and after during my formative years. Soooo many school-aged kids today have known nothing beyond the likes of the plastic Kardashians, plastic Instagram Kardashian wannabes, and Jake Paul. 😱 It’s really quite terrifying and horribly sad. Today’s generations and future generations need more people like this daughter - we need more kind, empathetic/sympathetic, genuine souls.
Maggie you're an angel and a blessing 😇. Starfish is a miracle, but she is your blessing and angel. She was put in your life for a reason. Much love and blessings to you both.💖👄🙏
“Before Starfish could walk, Pearl had the upper hand” Dog tries to chew on Pearl “You can’t chew her” This dog is to good for whoever left her in that box.
My shepard had this...working with him made me an even better person. He taught me to be endlessly determined and how love can heal. Thanks DJ for being my best friend! And much love to star and her family!
You know the reason that spirited little dog had so much love in her, and bonded so readily with you, is because she saw the same qualities within you.
Starfish is a fighter and wasn't giving up especially the SUPER SUPPORT this Adorable Baby. Yes, its hard to be a Teenager but she had a Beautiful Pup 🐶 to help this Young Lady to grow. Thanks for Sharing Family Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏❤️🥰😇🐕
What an inspirational girl. You are going to do great things in life. These parents allowing their child to have this experience can teach her so many life lessons.
I've watched a lot of dog rescue recoveries and I have to say this one was especially inspirational. Thank you so much for not giving up on her. If more people were like you, this world would be a better place.
@@abigaildunn1791 really, you said that? How nasty. You need some love in your life. I hope you find it so you can have your best life,the one that you want and deserve. ❤
Its a fucking dog mate, they are thrilled to pieces smelling buttholes all day. What I learned was that if you're loved just for being you and given excellent healthcare things turn out pretty well. Now if only everyone was treated so well then maybe the world wouldn't be so shitty.
Thank you to Geico for supporting The Dodo - thank you to everyone who helped by fostering and helping with physio and thank you for adopting her and giving the beautiful little sweetie a forever home :)
Thank you for sharing that story about starfish. Thanks to Maggie and her family for all their encouraging help to get her to walk again! Beautiful story!
Angels witj families who can afford at least $5k-$8k in medical costs. The real issue isn't people willing to try it's MONEY and the majority of Americans lack of it.
@@Backinblackbunny009 definitely true. I would love to care for a dog like this, but i don't have the money for medical treaments or the time to give the dog all the attention they would need.
@@Backinblackbunny009 yep EXACTLY!!! Thank you for saying that! There’s MILLIONS that have hearts bursting with love and wanting to share that love and give support to an animal. But we can’t do that…….l.
Maggie, what a beautifully strong girl at such early age. Starfish, such a stubborn pup, this is known as fighting tooth and nail!! Loved you both, and your family too for supporting you guys.
You go star I am in a chair and you give me hope not to give up push forward to go and get more help medical wise so I am going to push harder like you my sweet friend take care
Awh 🥰 Maggie reminds me A LOT of myself! ‘She took Starfish and ran away!’ 😆 I did something similar when i was 13 or 14! I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ but I’m thinking Maggie’s got a very bright future with animals In front of her!!! Keep it up kid! We need more kids like Maggie in this world!
What great parents. First to allow their daughter to foster, then helping her to make the dog better and then adopting Starfish. Let's be real here, no matter how many promises teenagers make, they will never take care of the dog 100% so when you say yes to having one, you know you will have to look after it too. Maybe one day Maggie will realize how lucky she is and that in fact, not all parents would do anything to make their children happy.
This broke my eyes... Seeing not only Starfish fight through it all with such a happy attitude, but also the joy it brought to Maggie and the encouragement while going through her teenage years, is just one of those stories that brings warmth to your heart. Simply beautiful!

What great parents. First to allow their daughter to foster, then helping her to make the dog better and then adopting Starfish. Let's be real here, no matter how many promises teenagers make, they will never take care of the dog 100% so when you say yes to having one, you know you will have to look after it too. Maybe one day Maggie will realize how lucky she is and that in fact, not all parents would do anything to make their children happy.
