Wayside Waifs in Kansas City has a touching video sharing a tripawd’s story:
(I can’t figure out how to embed this video, so all I can do is link it.)
It’s got a happy ending: Hope was adopted in February. The guy who adopted her says having Hope has brought him out of his comfort zone with people. I have found myself that having a tripawd means having lots of strangers talk to you. It’s a rare walk with Bosco where someone doesn’t stop me to ask, “What happened to his leg?” I’ve been flagged down across a street, across a park even, by people wanting to ask this. I tell his story while his great attitude and energy shows them that there’s really no need to pity him!
Great Story. What a wonderful rescue group.
That’s a beautiful story and Hope and her human companion have a bond that will only get deeper and deeper.
Thanks for sharing and applause to all the wonderful souls at the shelter doing all they can to help the voiceless:-) 🙂
Maybe the gentleman will join us at tripawds and continuing to share her story:-) 🙂

If I ever pass him and Hope on the street or see them at the park, I’ll be sure to tell him about this place! 🙂
We’ve discovered that too. A Tripawd is one walking (hopping) lesson for everyone s/he encounters. Gotta love it!
Great video, we love stories like that.
