Daphne was rescued from a farm the winter of 2011 and brought into the hospital covered in cow feces and lice, and unable to walk as she had sustained a severe injury to her spinal cord. It was a tough recovery, but she has the tenacity and strength to overcome just about any obstacle. Daphne won over all our hearts and the hearts of many clients. Be sure to say hi the next time you are in the hospital, but don't let her cuteness fool you, as she can be very naughty at times.
