Molly.She's a grey speckled pony who<br>was
abandoned by her owners when
Hurricane<br>Katrina hit southern Louisiana .
She spent weeks<br>on her own before finally
being rescued and taken<br>to a farm where
abandoned animals were stockpiled.<br>while
there, she was attacked by a pit bull
terrier<br>and almost died. Her gnawed right
front leg became<br>infected, and her vet went
to LSU for help, but<br>LSU was overwhelmed, and
this pony was a welfare<br>case. You know how
that goes.<br><br>But after surgeon Rustin Moore
met Molly, he<br>changed his mind.He saw how the
pony was<br>careful to lie down on different
sides so she didn't<br>seem to get sores, and
how she allowed people to<br>handle her.She
protected her injured leg.She<br>constantly
shifted her weight and didn't overload<br>her
good leg. She was a smart pony with a
serious<br>survival ethic.<br><br>Moore agreed
to remove her leg below the knee,<br>and a
temporary artificial limb was built.
Molly<br>walked out of the clinic and her story
really<br>begins there.<br><br>'This was the
right horse and the right owner,'<br>Moore
insists. Molly happened to be
a<br>one-in-a-million patient. She's tough as
nails, but sweet, and she was willing to cope
with pain.<br>She made it obvious she understood
that she was<br>in trouble.The other important
factor, according<br>to Moore , is having a
truly committed and compliant<br>owner who is
dedicated to providing the daily
care<br>required over the lifetime of the
horse.<br><br>Molly's story turns into a parable
for life in<br>Post-Katrina Louisiana ....The
little pony gained weight, and her mane finally
felt a comb. A human prosthesis designer built
her a leg.<br><br>The prosthetic has given Molly
a whole new life,<br>Allison Barca DVM, Molly's
regular vet, reports.<br><br>And she asks for
it. She will put her little limb out,<br>and
come to you and let you know that she
wants<br>you to put it on. Sometimes she wants
you to take<br>lt off too. And sometimes, Molly
gets away from<br>Barca. 'It can be pretty bad
when you can't catch<br>a three-legged horse,'
she laughs.<br><br>Most important of all, Molly
has a job now. Kay,<br>the rescue farm owner,
started taking Molly to<br>shelters, hospitals,
nursing homes, and rehabilitation<br>centers.
Anywhere she thought that people needed<br>hope.
Wherever Molly went, she showed people<br>her
pluck. She inspired people, and she had
a<br>good time doing it.<br><br>'It's obvious to
me that Molly had a bigger role to<br>play in
life, Moore said. She survived the
hurricane,<br>she survived a horrible injury,
and now she is giving<br>hope to
others.'</span></b>
