Doctor Andy Mathis does not see himself as just any veterinarian. The Elberton, Georgia resident actually thinks of himself as more a parent to the pets he cares for. That’s why when he received a call from a woman about a stray pit bull she found, Mathis asked her to bring it in. Sadly, the female canine was dehydrated, hypothermic, and starving. It looked like she wasn’t going to make it. That’s when Mathis was faced with a troubling decision: put the sickly dog to sleep or help her along her long road to recovery. It was a tough choice, but in the end, Mathis made the right one. What happened next will bring a tear to your eye.

->**Now, Graycie is returning to health, a little bit at a time. She’s even gaining about a half pound each day. Because of Mathis’ quick thinking and amazing veterinary care, this story has a very happy ending.**<-
