Growing up, Jessica Woodruff’s deep affection for animals defined her childhood. However, she faced an unimaginable tragedy when her beloved barn became engulfed in flames. On February 9th, an accidental fire ravaged Jessica’s barn, resulting in devastating losses. Among the casualties were four goats, a pig, and seven precious puppies, mere three weeks old at the time of the incident. The heartbreaking loss of these innocent lives left Jessica reeling with grief, grappling with the profound impact of the tragic event.

Despite the overwhelming sorrow, Jessica’s enduring love for animals serves as a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. As she mourns the loss of her cherished companions, Jessica remains steadfast in her commitment to honor their memory and continue her passion for caring for animals, ensuring that their legacy lives on in her heart forever.

The fire spread so fast and big that everything was over within minutes. There was nothing Jessica or Daisy could do, and it broke their hearts. Over the next few days Daisy plunged into depression, and she would walk over to the burnt down barn repeatedly and whine for her puppies. Watching Daisy in so much emotional pain destroyed Jessica. She knew she had to do something before she lost Daisy too.

Jessica’s sister Jacque Barnett put up a post on Facebook looking for orphan puppies they could foster. Coincidently, a woman named Lorna Murphy’s 5-year-old dog Chloe had passed away after giving birth to 8 puppies.

The women on both sides decided to change their tragedies into happiness for their dogs, and a meeting was quickly set up so Daisy could be introduced to the new-born puppies. Daisy’s maternal instincts immediately kicked in and she began feeding the puppies.

Daisy took care of the puppies for several weeks until they were all weaned. Most of the puppies were returned to their owner, except the runt of the litter, who they named Benji.

We’re so happy Daisy found some happiness after her terrible loss, and Lorna’s puppies found a new mommy after theirs had passed away.
