It’s truly heartwarming to see how love and kindness can heal even the deepest wounds. Nora’s story is a testament to the resilience of animals and the power of companionship. The bond she shares with Archie is truly special—it’s amazing how she found solace and trust in him despite her past traumas. It’s also wonderful to see how the entire family, including the other pets, has embraced Nora and helped her feel safe and loved. Their story reminds us of the incredible impact we can have on the lives of animals through compassion and understanding.
When Elizabeth Spence adopted Nora, the woman noticed she was not like their other pets
Previous owners abused Nora so much, they left her traumatized
The poor English Pointer was terrified of everyone
Until Elizabeth had her son, Archie
“Archie is an extremely laid-back, happy, good-natured baby and all the animals seem to really respond to that, particularly Nora”
“She came from an abusive background and is afraid of almost everything. Not Archie, though. She absolutely adores him”
The duo is absolutely inseparable
“If Archie is having a bath, Nora is lying on the bath mat waiting for him to get out”
“If I’m nursing him she wants up on my lap, too”
“If he’s going through my cupboards throwing all the dishes on the floor, she’ll be there cheering him on”
They even became the best sleeping buddies
“We taught the kids from a very young age to respect the dogs and to treat them well”
“The dogs trust and love the kids very much and are quite comfortable hanging out with them in any manner”
