Marshall The Miracle Dog

Marshall is an inspirational dog, without even trying to be. Five years ago he was among over sixty dogs living on an abandoned property with a serious lack of food, water, shelter and love. Fortunately, through his rescue he was able to make a full recovery – even with an amputated leg. Now, he and his owner visit schools across the United States to give children courage to be themselves and stop bullying.

Talk about taking a horrible situation and turning it into something positive! Marshall’s owner said that the main thing Marshall teaches other is, “not to give up five minutes before the miracle happens; life is going to happen, but just hold on because it can turn into your greatest moment.” Does that not sound like a message straight out of Begin with Yes, or what?!

Life can be scary, and even those small steps I’m always talking about can be terrifying, but if it means moving forward and not staying stuck it is so worth it. No matter what difficulties you are facing, take a deep breath and believe in yourself and the power that things can change and will get better. And don’t be afraid to stick up for someone else who is having trouble believing and needs your support!
