Rescue Dog Who Beat Distemper Has a Lot to Say

A rescue dog named Luna is always trying to communicate with words. Her mom, Dani, says Luna frequently acts like a “sassy teenager” and even knows how to say “no,” among other words. “She understands me 100%,” Dani says.

Luna came into Dani’s life under desperate circumstances — her mother was rescued while pregnant. When she gave birth, all the puppies were sick with distemper, and Luna was among them. From the start, Dani felt a strong bond with Luna and knew she was meant to be her dog.

Despite surviving distemper, Luna was left with a malformed skull, a common side effect of the infection. Her distinctive appearance turns heads whenever they go out, but it’s her personality that truly captures people’s hearts.

Watch Luna’s story in the heartwarming video below.
