With the help of Butternut Box, we are going to warm your heart with some amazing stories of rescue dogs that have made it big on the internet.   

Maggie the wunderdog  

All of these dogs have a bad backstory, but Maggie’s is particularly horrific. She was found tied to a 
box in Lebanon where she had been shot 17 times. Maggie was lucky to survive, but her injuries left her with blind and with only one ear. Her foster owner saw a post online asking for someone to adopt her, and Maggie ended up in London with her new family. She is truly a superhero since arriving in the UK, and her social media account has grown – she currently has 447,000 followers! Her new owner even gave up her job to look after Maggie’s social media account full time. Maggie has now trained to be a therapy dog to help others, and she has her own book!

Fiorella the iggy 

Fiorella is an Italian Greyhound that looks like she has been an Instagram model her entire life. But she had a tough start in life. For five and a half years, she was used as a breeding dog for a puppy mill. When they were finally finished for her, she was overweight, sick, and afraid of humans. But once she was adopted by her foster family, her life totally changed. She is now living it up on Instagram, wearing her jumpers and showing off the biggest smile to her 76.8k followers. Whether she is endorsing her favourite dog food or toys, she is loving her new career as an Instagram star.
