What a horrible story with a remarkable and happy ending! I'm so glad he can still enjoy chasing that tennis ball down the beach!

I love to hear stories of ppl overcoming great obstacles in their lives. I am so glad that you shared this story and I am so very happy that you were such a great mommy to him!

I am glad Buddy is happy & healthy!

Congratulations to you and Buddy for travelling this long road. So wonderful to see him running around like a 10-year old puppy!!

Wow, the poor little thing has been through so much, and so have you, what an amazing story, thanks for sharing it and the video, he's quite a remarkable little guy.

OMG! I'm sorry for what your dog went through. I loved the video of Buddy running around and I must tell you that you have helped my yorkie Bella.

I was up last night in tears because my dog broke her leg over a year ago and her splint was put on too tight. The vet tech did it. As a result, she lost her two outer toes and paw pad. This is her back left leg. It has been a nightmare to save her leg because her blood supply has been compromised.

Eight surgeries later and we almost have her leg healed. Your dog's story has given me such hope that she'll play again at the beach, snow and anywhere else we decide to take her.

Her hock is messed up and she walks on the knuckle of her toes and orthopets can help design something for her needs. I went on their website and I'm so excited and grateful to you for posting your story. Thank you!

Wow what a story, they could make a Animal Planet vignette on that, it would be very interesting. I want to take Milo to the vet now, to make sure he is eating the right food. I also hope it inspires other vets to get specialized in more things so that we can have better pet care nationwide.

I read your story first and then saw the video, I should have done it the other way around..... What a heart wrenching story and what he has gone through! Thank you for being such a wonderful Yorkie owner and person. Kudos to you both! And the video......That is wonderful how well he is doing! I am so proud for both of you. What a wonderful and full life he will have.
