Vet recommends puppy is euthanised but the little dog is determined to live

By Justine Seraphin•

Sometimes, euthanasia seems like the best option for animals who are suffering. But when there is no suffering and a will to live, it can be avoided…

A few years ago, a white Boxer was born with underdeveloped front limbs.

Because of his deformity, the puppy struggled to walk and play with his siblings. The vet recommended that he be put down for his own sake.

The couple knew Nubby, as he was affectionately named, probably wouldn’t live long. But the adorable pooch surprised them all by growing bigger and stronger every day. 

Nubby inspires people everywhere

Over the last few years, Nubby has had several sets of wheels that help him get around when he’s outside. Inside, he likes to stay on soft surfaces, but he’s probably one of the family’s most energetic and playful pups regardless.

Nubby's family regards him as a true inspiration. He shows everyone around him that being different is a strength, not a weakness.

You go, Nubby!
