Below is a more in depth description of what happened to Sable.

Trigger Warnings for: Severe child abuse and torture.

Sable was being trained to track and hunt when Genesis and Salem were brought to her handler to hold. She had bonded fairly quickly with the pups and was under the assumption that they were going to be trained like her. While her handler wasn’t as cruel as some of the others, he wasn’t exactly a saint either.

Sable had overheard Caleb (her handler) telling Cadi’s handler (Marni) the fate of the twins and she grew protective. When Caleb went to actually feed them later that day, Sable attacked him as a way to try to protect the pups. 

Salem and Genesis had to watch as Caleb beat Sable with a prybar until she was unconscious and bleeding on the ground. 

He had fractured her skull in at least three places, broke all but maybe two ribs, one of the ribs punctured her left lung, both of her legs had been nearly shattered and there was decent damage done to her spine (but nothing sever enough to paralyze her or trigger her implant completely). There was also organ damage sustained from the beating. Had she been human, she would have died during the assault. 

It wasn’t until Jeff and Kori had managed to get her to the ER did they learn that her implant HAD been damaged enough to leak, slowly beginning to poison the girl. 

With the amount of damage, Sable had to be kept in a coma for a span of time to ensure her body rested. Her legs and arms had to be partially rebroken and set but she did require pins to be put in place to make sure they healed right.

She’s still being medicated to keep from shifting until her body is completely healed, but she is undergoing physical therapy to help her gain back as much motion as possible.
