A deformed puppy rescued from a garbage bag has finally learnt to walk.
Little Harper was saved from a certain death when a woman in Sanford, Florida, saw a man selling pit-bull puppies outside a Save-A-Lot holding a squirming trash bag.
When she asked him what was in the bag he at first refused to show her but he finally handed over the bag containing a puppy so deformed it couldn’t walk or hold up its head.

This is exactly why when you have a litter of pups; you make sure there are several different surfaces for them to lay on. It prevents this. Lots of different textures such as towels, rugs; etc; not a completely smooth surface in the bed.
What a sweet baby!
Indeed. My wife and I watched this earlier tonite. Truly special.
Thanks for mentioning about the video.

I agree. I think there are special people put on this earth to do just what she did and those who are put here to take care of special children. God bless them one and all.
Here is one dog that was rescued from a shoe box. The good news is that she was adopted by her foster home.

I wish there were special people put on earth to deal with the creatures who are putting the puppies INTO the garbage bags and shoeboxes.
Sometimes they just need love and attention. I rescued a cat once who was just... neglected and I guess you could say, depressed. She was severely dehydrated, lethargic, a bag of bones. Vet was talking dialysis (for a cat??) I took her home and just gave her water and nutrients with an eye dropper, and kept her on my lap a lot, and petted her and stroked her and talked to her and fussed over her... and she survived, and recovered, and lived several more years.
Awwww! THAT SMILE!
What an adorable puppygrin!
I know...I loved the smile! Doesn’t it just say, “I’M A PUPPY....WOO-HOO!!”
H*LL YEAH!
That is a beautiful story. What a fortunate cat.
