Planning Feature Spread Text & Draft
HELLOOOO
For my feature spread I wanted to tell a motivational story of Mia, who recovered and found a happy home. Something that relates to my slogan, "More than Just Dogs" because the puppy was strong and her desire to keep going, is what kept her sane. This is when you realize that dogs are stronger than you think. This specific pup was also adopted by a lady who made her part of her family. Evidently, pets are more than just pets.
Mia underwent surgery at just 3 months of age. Her previous owners had her and 6 more pups and when they left them unattended on a 3rd floor building, playful Mia sadly fell of the balcony. The owners did not notice until one of the residents of the building in front saw it happening. Mary Lopez, 19, took the puppy and made her way to the vet while the other person, Richard Garcia, 23, was telling the owners what they had seen happened.
When Mia got to the vet, she was diagnosed with a fractured leg and arm since she fell on the right side of her body. Mia couldn’t even move her little paws. Mary was told that it’s very hard to do a surgery on the pup because she was too young, the minimum age to get surgery is 6 months old. That was until vet Steven Soto gave an alternative. Mia would be getting surgery on one of her paws and she’ll be wearing a brace for a month and a half. After that she needed to come back to see if she’s stable enough to get surgery on the other one. The surgery was extremely important because without it Mia could lose her ability to walk forever. The vet said that if Mary would have come 30 minutes later there might not be a chance to save her.
This was Mia's greatest treasure, she was given another opportunity. After this, she moved with Mary who became her best friend. Mary tells us how Mia even after the surgery went through several months of post trauma during her recovery process. Blurry vision, dizziness and uncoordinated steps were some of the horrible side effects that she went through. With treatment and time she healed completely. Today, she is playful, loving, and highly affectionate. Mary tells us how she even gets along with cats. Mary recognizes that Mia is part of her family, she's extremely happy and she wouldn't have it any other way.
The reason why I chose this article to be my feature spread is because it shows the trauma that a tiny dog was put in and yet it was able to get through it which shows how strong dogs really are. Mary also includes that Mia is more than just a dog to her. This is essentially what I wanted to prove with my magazine, that dog are not just animals, they can impact a human’s life for the better and can do more than just bark and eat food.
This is a true story based on a puppy named Chanel but because of the fact that Mary lives in Fort Myers, I couldn't take pictures of her dog and decided to used mine.
