Based on a true story that successfully passed Susie's Law law in North Caroline,- which seeks stricter punishment for animal abusers - Susie's Hope brings to life the inspirational relationship between pit bull stack survivor Donna Lawrence and Susie, a pit bull-mix puppy found beaten, burned and left for dead. Recognizing neglect and abuse were to blame for the tragic attack that nearly claimed her life 10 months earlier, Donna rescues the battered animal and accepts her as family. Together, they learn to heal, love and forgive as they lead a historic effort to seek justice and protection, not only for Susie, but all animals.
