CHELSEA, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, January 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Chelsea, Michigan, January 11th, 2023 – Dan McKernan, founder of Barn Sanctuary, is set to embark on a heartfelt journey spanning over 800 miles from Chelsea, Michigan, to Fayetteville, Arkansas, this January. The purpose of this significant trip is to transport Dwight, a resilient cow from the sanctuary, to Pinnacle Equine Therapy for advanced rehabilitation.

Dwight's story is one of courage and perseverance. At just a month old, he was attacked by a coyote, leaving his back leg broken. His initial owner assumed the injury would heal independently, resulting in Dwight spending the first year of his life limping, unable to use his leg properly.

Rescued by Barn Sanctuary in May 2018, Dwight was still hobbling on three legs. He underwent surgery on his injured leg and received extensive physical therapy. Despite trying various treatments, including laser therapy and a peg leg, nothing seemed to work until Barn Sanctuary discovered a hydrotherapy facility willing to accommodate a cow.

After months of dedicated therapy, Dwight has made remarkable progress. He is now using his back leg, a significant milestone given his mobility issues had stunted his growth, making him smaller than other adult cows at the sanctuary. With his improved mobility, Dwight can now join the herd and graze in the pasture, enjoying life to the fullest.

"Dwight's journey is a testament to the resilience and strength of the animals we rescue. His recovery, from a neglected calf struggling to walk, to now joining the herd and grazing alongside his companions, embodies the spirit of hope and compassion at the heart of Barn Sanctuary. This trip to Arkansas is not just about furthering his rehabilitation; it's about affirming our commitment to giving every animal the best chance at a happy, healthy life." - Dan McKernan
