Marshall the Miracle Dog

Today we had a visit from a very special dog and his owner.  Marshall the Miracle Dog came to Sperreng to spread his message of empathy and to encourage students to keep holding on.  Cindi Willenbrock, a former Lindbergh student, adopted Marshall after a raid on an animal horder's property.  He was saved along with more than 60 dogs, but Marshall had some severe injuries.  He had been attacked by some of the other dogs, and as a result, he lost his front leg and has a deep scar on his face.  Marshall was not expected to survive, but he made it through surgery and was adopted by Cindi.  Now Marshall is a certified therapy dog, and he travels around the country inspiring students to never give up.  Marshall's story has been made into a book and will be made into a movie soon.  You can find out more about Marshall and Cindi on their website: http://marshallthemiracledog.com
