Spreading the three-legged dog love

We have had so many wonderful people at the park this month, but one particular family can't avoid being unique.

Jim and Rene are hysterical, always seeking joy and happiness and just darn stinkin' nice. In addition to this fantabulousness, they have the most amazing dog, Wyatt, who happens to only have three legs. Their Tripawds community is a gathering place for three-legged dogs and their people who work so hard to provide them all they need for a wonderful life.

Seriously, check it out. They offer resources and products for these animals, as well as forums to swap tips and encouragement. It is also inspiring for those of you who are open to loving an animal with special needs. It just makes me very, very happy to see all they are providing to bring these people together. Pretty darn amazing.

Oh wow that link is amazing! What an amazing story.
If I didn't have four kids, three with special needs, I'd totally look into adopting a pet with special needs.
Wow.

This is awesome! We have our dear old Ernie, my 10 year old, 3-legged beagle who we adopted when he was just 4 months old. I had no idea of such a special website--thanks for passing this along!

Christine, you are so sweet, thank you for the kind words! We like to say that we just put the infrastructure together, it's the pawrents who make Tripawds the special place it is.
