I'm Nala and I'm alive.

About a year ago no one would've ever believed it.

I was a cheerful and happy puppy, I was barely 8 months old when the nightmare started. Suddenly, I stopped breathing. It took the doctors an entire day to figure out what was wrong: pulmonary worms.

The diagnosis was clear: the strongyles were rapidly causing serious damages to the eyes, the lungs and the blood.

I wasn't gonna make it through the night. The doctors worked tirelessly to save me, even though it may have not been enough. But I didn't give up. I fought with every breath I had, I walked on my own paws and I went back home.

The illness left me in the dark, I was blind and I had damaged lungs. I felt lost and scared, but never alone.

My humans were with me every step of the way and for them, and thanks to them, I was reborn.

Today I'm not the puppy I once was. I can't run or play like I did before, and I'm still blind, but I won't let that stop me or keep me from being a dog. Don't worry, I can still catch a frisbee.

What else? I'm a warrior. But if I made it is because I had an army behind me: my family, who loves me more than ever.

Boudica was the wife of Prasutagus, King of the Iceni, a Celtic tribe in what is now East Anglia. After Prasutagus’ death, the relationship between the Iceni and Romans deteriorated, probably due to the repressive occupation policies of Roman colonists and officials. The Romans refused to accept a woman as tribal leader; according to Tacitus they publicly whipped Boudica and raped her virgin daughters.*

In 60 AD, the Iceni conspired with their neighbours, the Trinovantes, and Boudica was chosen as their leader. Tacitus records that she addressed her army with these words, “It is not as a woman descended from noble ancestry, but as one of the people that I am avenging lost freedom, my scourged body, the outraged chastity of my daughters,” and concluded, “This is a woman’s resolve; as for men, they may live and be slaves.” Together they rose up against the Romans and moved south to attack and plunder the Roman settlements. Their first target was the veteran colony Camulodunum, today’s Colchester. They burned the city to its foundations and killed all its inhabitants. Londinium (London) and Verulamium (St Albans) followed. Presumably more than 50.000 fighters had gathered around Boudicca, and after the initial successes new supporters joined.

Although the Celtic inhabitants of Britain were highly developed and experienced in many aspects, they were not versed in warfare. Their equipment was simple, and the level of organisation of the British warriors was in no way comparable to that of the enemy. Though strong in numbers, they had no chance in the final battle against the disciplined, better armed and tightly organized troops of Rome. The Roman commander and governor of Britain, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, together with two legions, confronted the British, who had previously led guerrilla-like attacks, in open field in a battle northwest of Verulamium and destroyed them.

There are two versions of Boudica’s fate: Tacitus reports that Boudica took her life by poisoning herself, while Cassius Dio believes that Boudicca fell ill and eventually died.

The great tragedy of Boudica is that she was one battle away from achieving her ultimate objective, for had she succeeded, Rome would have withdrawn from Britain. Boudica’s legacy is that of bravery and of standing up to opression to secure ones freedom.  It’s a story that inspired later generations of Britons, including Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.

*Cassius Dio provides an alternative explanation for Boudica’s response, saying that previous imperial donations to influential Britons were confiscated and the Roman financier and philosopher Seneca called in the loans he had forced on the reluctant Britons.
