0What is it about Ellie that gives her the ability to hold her head high even as others repeatedly tease her? And, why does the phrase, "Never Look Back," always come to Ellie's mind? Perhaps, it was enduring a difficult past that gives Ellie the ability to smile at the bullies and appreciate every day. "Never Look Back" is based on the true story of Ellie, a dog who was rescued from a shelter. Although she was emaciated when she was rescued and her survival was uncertain, she flourished and now loves her life on the farm with Dr. Michael, a veterinarian.
