Molly the Miracle Dog\u00a0\u2013 True Heartwarming Story Of Survival<\/h1>\n

On January 20, 2016, Amtrak police officers were called to an accident scene where a dog was hit by a fast moving train in Baltimore, MD.\u00a0 The train conductor saw the dog run into the tunnel ahead, and to his horror, he knew he could not stop the train in time. Train workers stopped all moving trains, and Officer Kevin McMullen found the dog inside the tunnel. \u00a0No one thought the animal could have survived, but to their surprise,a small female mixed-breed dog was clinging to life.\u00a0 Her hind left leg had been cut completely off almost all the way up to her hip, she lost the end of her mangled tail, had very large lacerations on her face and side, and she had a severed artery, bleeding profusely.\u00a0 As soon as Officer McMullen picked her up and removed her from the tracks, she began licking his face, which was the first indication of her sweet, loving, and grateful disposition.<\/p>\n

Now known as Molly, she was quickly taken to BARCS<\/a> (Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelters, Inc).\u00a0 The staff immediately set up Molly for surgery the next morning. The medical procedure was risky and there was a significant risk the she would not survive on the operating table. The miracle dog underwent surgery, and the remainder of her hind leg had to be amputated. The lacerations on her body were cleaned and closed up, her mangled tail was fixed, and the exposed artery from which she lost more than half her body\u2019s blood was repaired.<\/p>\n

Since then, Miracle Molly<\/strong><\/em>, who is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, has been fostered and cared for by a BARCS<\/a> staff member who cares for animals on the mend. \u00a0Molly, first thought to be a brown dog when rescued because she was dirty and bloody, was found to be a beautiful little white dog with a pink, freckled nose. \u00a0Molly\u2019s foster mom is amazed how resilient the little girl is, and she says that her favorite thing in the world is to be held like a baby while covering her holder with kisses.<\/p>\n

Sweet, beautiful Miracle Molly<\/p><\/div>\n

Officer McMullen, who rescued her from the train tracks, has been to visit Molly often to check on her, and they have created a wonderful bond. BARCS<\/a> said that they have had hundreds of inquiries across the country about Molly, and about possibly adopting her. Officer McMullen is more than open to the possibility of becoming Molly\u2019s dad, and when she\u2019s ready BARCS<\/em> will ensure that she goes to the right forever home.<\/p>\n

*Update!<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 As of February 11, BARCS<\/em> stated that they were hoping to make it official within a week that Officer McMullen would be approved for the adoption of Molly\u00a0 I\u2019m wishing for many, many years of happiness for both of them together. What a happy ending that will be for Molly\u2019s sad, painful story!<\/p>\n
