Finally Some Good News: Disabled Puppy Learns to Walk

&feature=player_embedded


The last few weeks have been pretty gloomy around these parts, so here's a very necessary reminder that there are still some positive things taking place in the world.

Take, for example, the story of a six-week-old Boston Terrier named Mick.

The poor pup was born with a cute-sounding-but-actually-pretty-nasty disorder called Swimmer Puppy Syndrome.

Due to his condition, Mick was unable to sit, stand, or walk.

I have fixed some pretty sad cases over the years.I think Dogs are incredible.Cats too.
They never give up,never give out and never give in if they are trying to please us.They apply so much effort expecting so little in return.

That was just so beautiful.

Someone hand me a tissue. Hell, just give me the whole box. Or a beach towel.
