A middle Tennessee dog who has overcome unbelievable odds now may be in the fight for her life.

Channel 4 introduced people to Triumph the husky in 2005. Triumph was rescued from the side of a road in Turkey after both of her hind legs had been amputated.

She was brought to the U.S., adopted by a woman in Mount Juliet and then underwent a groundbreaking surgery to receive two implant legs.

Now Triumph has contracted MRSA in her legs, which is an antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Doctors are still running tests, and the tests and treatments to fight the bacteria are causing bills to pile up.

If you'd like to help, you can donate to the Triumph Fund at Wilson Bank and Trust. You can also get more information by clicking here.
