Rescued by a Dog

From the vault: Two stories: Pup Cici teaches a bereaved young woman to change the world; & a college student overcomes mental illness thanks to pup Mescal

Laura Thomas

Today, we'll hear two moving stories from young women. First, bereaved sister Mags tells the story of how pup Cici showed her brother endless joy and grace as he grappled with mental illness. Now, in his honor, Mags and her family have started an organization, Paws for Patrick, that transforms other people's lives through the love of dogs. Next, Morgan tells us how, with the help of Paws for Patrick, pup Mescal helped her work through a paralyzing fear of leaving her college dorm room.
