Edith adored people, yet she spent most of her life isolated. Chained outdoors for nearly a decade, her long black fur became dingy and matted, but her spirit never dimmed.
Whenever I visited to give her food, clean water, toys, and treats, Edith flopped onto her back for a tummy rub, soaking in every moment of affection.
It was painful having to walk away then, leaving her alone again. But PETA never gave up, and one day, Edith’s life would change forever.
Edith is one of the dogs whose stories are told in “Breaking the Chain,” a new documentary from executive producer Anjelica Huston.
