Dog Left To Die For Being Different Finally Finds Couple Who Loves Him For Who He Is
Meet Petey, the puppy who was left to die in a park with his brother because he was different. A woman from Sacramento, California, saw the doggies while walking her son home from school and immediately rushed them to the vet. They were starved, lethargic, and cold as ice. Unfortunately, Petey’s brother passed away upon arrival to the clinic, but Petey decided to fight for his life.
Soon the vets noticed there was something wrong as the puppy couldn’t move properly. Turned out, Petey had cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition meaning his cerebellum isn’t fully developed.
“This can occur due to genetic causes or infections in the mother during development,” Dr. Laurie Siperstein-Cook, a veterinarian at the Sacramento SPCA, told The Dodo. “The signs include head bobbing, clumsiness and falling.”
However, Petey is still one playful dog: “He’s rambunctious, curious and silly,” Westphal-Thomson, doggie’s foster mom, said. “He’s also very confident and enjoys meeting new people….”
He learned to eat on his own, and loves to run around and cuddle. The abandoned puppy was soon adopted by a loving couple who absolutely adore him, and won’t ever leave him because he’s different.

OMG! I wonder how could someone just leave him to die??? what kind of a dirtbag abandons such a beautiful, lovable creature? He is so sweet! Good luck little friend!

The article never mentioned that the puppies were left there to die by a human. For all we know, the puppies' mother could've been the one -

Poor dog, you can tell he wants to play around and he's struggling! It's great he's been adopted by people who love him regardless, he looks cute and lively!
That nice lady's children are learning from her how to treat those who need help. So are the children of whoever abandoned the pup.
Holy c**p he's cute! He's probably inherited the condition due to shoddy breeding practices and once they saw that they couldn't make as much money on him they dumped him. I hope the breeders are tied in a sack and drowned. I'm glad that sweet couple has Petey now!
❤️🐾❤️ I have a dog named Petey who looks a lot like this little guy!
