He might not live a long life, but he might still live a good life.
Despite the fact that his owner cares for and loves the misshapen canine despite his rare genetic issue, potential owners avoid adopting him because they believe he is ugly.
Each and every dog is cute. Despite any special needs, lingering scars, or odd characteristics, these creatures are magnificent and deserving of respect. A dog named Walter was unintentionally dumped in a shelter. The arguments for why the dog was generally ignored crushed the heart of one specific animal enthusiast. She was welcomed by a worker at the shelter where Gabby, an animal enthusiast, was already helping to save another puppy. When Gabby arrived, Walter was there.
The volunteer said, “Hey Gabby, you’ve got to see this puppy. The volunteer thought Gabby would be able to assist Walter in finding a permanent home because she assisted dogs with certain needs.
The moment Gabby spotted the strange dog, she could tell that he wasn’t like other dogs. She had never seen a dog this little or with such a dreadful underbite. He also appeared to have a misaligned spine and legs. There was silence all around Gabby. She meant to greet Walter and kidnap him.
Gabby was aware of the grim conditions and could sense that Walter was different from her and distinctive. Due to his unique requirements and difficulty finding a home, Walter would either take a very long time to do so or perish at the shelter.
The majority of folks grumbled as they walked past Walter’s kennel. Some people didn’t like the dog because they thought it was unattractive. but not Gabby! She applauded him, saying he was fantastic.
When the wonderful woman realized she had to adopt Walter herself, she took him home. The “defects” of the dog were quickly ignored by Gabby. Walter, in her opinion, was immaculate. He didn’t look like other dogs, and he wouldn’t have a long life, but neither of those things mattered; what mattered was that he could love and that Gabby could make him happy.
Walter possesses Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), a rare hereditary disease. Sadly, the illness is deadly and gets worse with time. Because of this, Walter might not live a long life, but he still might.
As soon as they reached their home together, Gabby understood that Walter is unique. He smiles incessantly. He makes irregular attempts to sprint but is driven to stroll as far as he can. Despite the stress it was putting on his body, Walter kept moving. Gabby enjoyed that as well!
Gabby originally concentrated on physical rehabilitation in a little kiddie pool when Walter got back home. Walter was overjoyed. Additionally, the water greatly enhanced his physical features. It would soon be time to begin tidying up the yard. Walter’s mother had been supporting him the entire time, so he didn’t let anything get in his way of getting to her.
Since her father passed away from multiple sclerosis, Gabby believes that her connection to Walter is a result of this. In the video below, she explains how her father was remarkably resilient despite having a similar handicap at the end of his life.
As a result, Gabby changed her entire perspective on those who endure suffering and still manage to succeed. Walter had a positive outlook, and Gabby immediately thought of her father. Her father experienced the same things.
