  The road to recovery wasn't an easy one for the pup. It was a very long and painful journey.

  In addition to the pain, she was very mistrusting of other dogs and humans. Making it more difficult to treat her.

  However, even with the smile of pure happiness, Cala learned once again how evil and cruel some humans can be...

  Lya Battle, the founder of Territorio de Zaguates, told the Dodo that she survived due too her size and because she was “Just too tough a cookie!”

  Today Cala is living her best life in a new home. “She is happy, strong, willful, a bit stubborn, and spoiled by her foster mom and family,” reported Battle
