My, what a VERY handsome boy you are Dakotah! What an incredibly sweet nature you have, and without a doubt you are, in your human's words, "extra special!" Sounds like you are well on your way to learning how to talk. "What" is a great word to start with, and I bet by now you have more words down. Of course, you didn't have to learn how to steal hearts, that came naturally! You would not let a physical handicap slow you down or affect your cheerful outlook on life, setting a wonderful example for human and animal alike. Dakotah, I hope you have SUPER day with lots of extra cuddles and attention, and perhaps some yummy treats to celebrate. Congratulations on being our very remarkable and loveable Pet of the Day!
