about the movie
Based on the true story that successfully passed Susie’s Law in North Carolina, which seeks stricter punishment for animal abusers, Susie’s Hope brings to life the inspirational relationship between pit bull attack survivor Donna Lawrence and Susie, a pit bull-mix puppy found beaten, burned and left for dead.

Together, they learn to heal, love and forgive as thyey lead a historic effort to seek justice and protection, not only for Susie but all animals. Susie’s Hope is an incredible story of love, loss and redemption.

my thoughts
I'm not one for sad movies and avoid them at all costs, which is why I was conflicted about agreeing to review Susie's Hope. The poor bandaged puppy on the cover deterred me from watching it for more than a week. I kept picking it up, starring at the bandaged puppy and putting it back down.

When Julia (12yo) realized there was a new animal movie in the house, there was no more chance of avoiding it. She loves all things animals- especially movies. We sat and watched it together and to my surprise, Oscar (15yo) made his way over to the couch to join us.
The movie definitely has its sad parts but the overall message is that of encouragement and hope. Both children really enjoyed it and have wanted to watch it again.
The movie it totally family friendly and has great morals. It runs 105 minutes long.

about Susie
Susie was found nearly dead in Greenfield Park in Greensboro, North Carolina on August 20, 2009. Just a puppy, Susie had licked the face of her owner’s newborn baby. Her owner became violent—she was beaten so severely her jaw was broken. That wasn’t enough though, she was then set on fire and left for dead. Incredibly and against all odds Susie survived. Susie is now a trained therapy dog and event won the American Humane Association’s American Hero Dog this year!
