A heartwarming tale of resilience and hope, a sweet puppy who was abandoned and left to survive on its own has defied the odds and learned to walk and run on just two legs.
Putol, a remarkable dog born with only her front legs, has never let her unique circumstances hold her back. As showcased in this delightful and inspiring video, the spirited six-year-old canine has mastered the art of running at impressive speeds on her two front paws, all thanks to the unwavering support and love of her new owner, Danilo Codilego Jr.
Named Putol, which translates to βchoppedβ in the Tagalog language of Luzon, The Philippines, this adorable dog is often seen joyfully running alongside her fellow four-legged friends and exploring the vibrant side streets and gutters of the Casiguran district in Quezon City.
Despite the initial skepticism surrounding Putolβs future, Daniloβs steadfast commitment to her well-being has made all the difference. βThey didnβt think sheβd live long,β Danilo shared. βI was the only one who had the courage to take care of her. We took risks because we felt compassion for her.β
Although the name βPutolβ may not have been the most creative choice, with options like Molly, Coco, and Willow coming to mind, it is clear that Putolβs journey is about so much more than her name.
βShe doesnβt mind when I have to travel for business, as everyone looks after her,β Danilo said. βSheβs not picky and enjoys the same foods we eat.β However, due to her unique condition, Putol is unable to have puppies of her own.
But it seems that this resilient and joyful dog is far too busy living her best life and enjoying every moment to dwell on what she canβt have.
