The true story of how one special dog beat the odds -- as seen on
hit social media site The Dodo! When Nubby the boxer was born,
there was something different about him. That's because Nubby was
born without his two front legs. He was so small and so sick. The
humans who rescued him weren't sure he would make it. But after a
little while, Nubby started to get better. Soon, Nubby was well
enough to try to walk. But without his front legs, Nubby had to
scoot or hop from place to place. Nubby's family knew this
one-of-a-kind pup would need a little extra help getting around.
This inspiring true story teaches us that with a little love, some
creativity, and a lot of hard work, special dogs like Nubby can
overcome any obstacle!
