    What Chocolate Puppy said!

    I know the vet techs at my vet practice are always overloaded w/ pets, both long term keepers and nursing to health for adoption at "some" future date which seldom arrives. LOL Positive "hazard" of the job, I guess!

    Poor little pup - to be surrendered for a date with death, but so fortunate that fate saved him. Curses on the heartless breeder. I can't imagine why they just couldn't have kept him, and then given him away as a loving pet for someone.
    So glad that he's safe and being cared for. Thanks for posting a story with a good ending (and a good beginning for the pup).

    Beautiful baby, shame, shame, tsk, tsk to the breeders. I wouldn't even go as far as call them breeds... they seem very irresponsible, and definitely not compassionate.

    Lol, yes, I always hear that every vet tech has/had a dog names Lucky, Chance, Gimpy, a tri-pod dog or cat, etc! Definitely a job hazard, I like how you put that!

    Obviously it wasn't a good breeder. They weren't going to get the money they wanted for a deformed puppy so they didn't want it. At least they were bringing it in to be done humanely. They could have done it themselves.

    My sister got her oldest cat when she worked at a vet when they were going to put him down because his front leg was deformed when he was born. He is now about 16 years old and his leg has never slowed him down. He runs and jumps (well not so much anymore) like any other cat with four good legs.

    Good for this girl to take this puppy and at least give it a chance at life.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    The puppy is so darling! How wonderful that the student's instructors let her bring the puppy to class with her. (If that was me, with such a wee guest in my class I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on the lecture!)

    Dog people, what will happen to this little puppy as he grows and gets more mobile? Will he just adapt to being differently abled? He's so tiny and cute!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    He will get used to it in time. He won't know any better than having a deformed leg. He might drag it and limp at first, but in time he will be what's 'normal' for him!

    Keep us updated on the lucky little guy!
