Foster dad refuses to euthanize puppy born without front legs, decides to give him a second chance

 

Nobby the dog wasn't born with front legs. The small puppy had just been alive for four hours when the vet suggested euthanasia.

On the other side, Nubby's owner made a solid choice.

Nobby had a challenging beginning to life. He had trouble getting to his mother to nurse because he was born without front legs. Nubby's brothers pushed him away from his mother as she gave him a hug, keeping him from being able to feed.

Even though it was heartbreaking, the veterinarian thought it was best if Nobby was put to sleep. The dog had only been alive for four hours.

But Texas resident Lou Robinson, who has dedicated her life to adopting and fostering unwanted and abandoned dogs alongside her husband Mark, wants something different.

They quickly made the decision to disregard the vet's guidance and take care of Nobby themselves. Nobby accompanied Lou home. She stayed there all night with her husband to watch the puppy. They gave him love, shelter, and nourishment through a bottle.

At first, Nobby seemed to be doing fine.

"His ears enlarged, and so did his eyes. According to Loui Robinson, "He could bark, sniff, and identify sounds."

Then, things started to change.

When Nobby was about a month old, he started sneezing. He was no longer able to poop, and tiny bubbles began to come out of his nostrils.

It was discovered through an X-ray that Nubby's esophagus was damaged.

Nobby was given antibiotics after which she was put in an incubator. Despite the grave circumstances, Nobby showed incredible fortitude and tenacity.

He wouldn't give up. The man retaliated. And his foster parents fought to provide him the chance to live a respectable life.

Thankfully, Nobby became better over time. This cute small child has shown to be a true survivor three years later.

Yes, Nobby faces certain challenges in life, but he has shown the world that anything is possible. The Robinsons have also given him a Facebook profile so that others can follow his escapades.

Nobby appears to be feeling better than ever in the most recent updates and pictures.

He has grown into a strong dog. He looks to like playing and is fascinated by life and everything it has to offer. He even has a little wheelchair of his own that he uses to play and go about.

Nobby is a fantastic motivator! He is different from everyone else, but he shows that being unique is irrelevant.

The vet thought he should be put to sleep, but Nobby has shown that with Lou and Mark's help, everything is possible.

Share to thank Lou and Mark for a job well done and to pay tribute to this amazing dog!
