Gracie, a sweet dog, was found tied to a fence in Brooklyn, New York. She had been left there by some men who drove up and tied her there. It was a cold night in March 2016, with temperatures dropping to the 30s. She sat there for nine hours until she was found. Gracie was covered in wounds, all from bites.

Luckily, a rescue group named Mr. Bones and Company came to her aid. They helped her and took care of her injuries. Tanya, a kind woman, wanted to adopt Gracie. The founder of the rescue group agreed, and Gracie found a new home.
Gracie is like a perpetual puppy, always playful and full of life. Dogs like her remind us to live in the moment and enjoy life. She has a goofy personality, and when she wakes up, her bottom lip looks so funny sometimes.
Tanya shares a special bond with Gracie. They communicate well, even though they speak different languages. Tanya tells Gracie how much she loves her every day. It took Tanya six months to say “I love you” to Gracie because her heart was still healing from the loss of her previous dog.
Gracie sometimes shows signs of fear and pain from her past experiences. Tanya does everything she can to make sure Gracie feels safe and loved. She apologizes to Gracie for her past and tells her how brave she is.
Gracie’s story touched the hearts of many people. The community came together to help her, from the rescue groups to the doctors who treated her. Tanya and Gracie share a strong bond, and Tanya is grateful to have Gracie in her life.
Gracie, thank you for teaching us about love and resilience.
