Half A Dog, Twice The Love: Rescued Puppy Born With 2 Legs Needs Your Help

ADVERTISEMENT

Ever since he was born, Bonsai the Bulldog puppy has had the cards stacked against him – he was born with 2 legs and a host of other genetic disorders that have made life difficult. Thanks to his loving owners and community support, however, he is surviving to live life to the fullest!

Bonsai’s two stunted, lame hind legs were recently amputated. He also has no functional pelvis and a deformed lower spine. His front legs exhibit legs “Swimmer Puppy” syndrome, which prevents him from standing on his front legs correctly and places excess pressure on his internal organs. This, in turn, might have been caused by the large internal sack of fluid he was born with. He was born to English Bulldog breeders in Arkansas.

Friends Of Emma, an organization in Texas dedicated to helping care for dogs with cleft palates and other congenital defects, is helping Bonsai’s owners take care of him, paying for veterinary bills and other essentials like diapers and wipes.

In a natural environment that dog wouldn't stand a chance, I am not sure this is really a good thing to force this little creature to live to be honest....

Okay, but then, let's also do it with disabled little humans who wouldn't stand a chance in a natural environment (by that I mean out of medical care and lifetime family care). No? Why? Because they are humans and deserve more to live? Humans are just animals so they should receive the same treatment as the other animals. After all, some say there are plenty of healthy dogs in the shelters but you know, there are also plenty of healthy children in the system, waiting for a loving family. You are shocked aren't you? "Oh my god, how can she compare humans to dogs?", "An heretic! Let's burn her at the stake!", "What a monster!". Suit yourselves, whatever you think, I think the same about you.

Sadly, it's the unnatural environment of purebred breeding that has caused this. Inbreeding and breeding for these characteristics of shorter, stubbier legs and wrinkled faces. This species didn't look like this a century and a half ago. It's absolute cruelty to continue these practices: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/27/magazine/can-the-bulldog-be-saved.html?_r=0 I think the breeders have every responsibility with this. The problem might be rooted generations back.

I mean, that's what happens when you push nature to create "pure breeds". Even if he had his legs, dogs like English and French bulldogs have breathing issues, problems with their hips, their legs, their organs. The whole obsession with perfect looking bulldogs (among others) is actually far worse in the global picture than this cutie's ordeal.

I can't stop thinking about that episode in American Dad where Stan tries to save ''Kisses''. At a point where Kisses is part machine and Francine wants to put the dog out of it's misery Stan yell ''Who are you to play God!'' With the reference that she isn't allowed to choose what lives and what dies. To save that dog above, is indeed to play God. In my experience with rabbits, I often encounter many people wishing to save every last one of the newborn - but if the baby can't make it, and it hasn't something to do with the mother - then we must respect the laws of nature where it still holds a bit of power. All men must die, it isn't bad nor is it good, it just is.

The kennel club recommends that rhodesian ridgeback puppies born without a ridge (the ridge itself is a painful genetic abnormality which causes spinal problems such as a hole in the spine, forgot the proper name for that, and movement problems, etc) should be put down. The kennel club recommends the healthy dogs be put down.... The authority.... on dog breeding....... Says healthy dogs deserve to die while suffering dogs are celebrated....... I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Excess pressure on Internal organs, probably means more pain then we can even imagine. when I was putting my dog of 12 years old down, I knew that when I picked her up she would flail, gasp, she had always had breathing problems she was a Brussels Griffon, when he gave her the last shot he said her rib cage was deformed as well as many other issues. Overbreeding dogs will cause excessive issue. I feel badly she suffered, and put her at ease as soon as it was apparent she had a brain tumor on top of everything else. How long will they make this dog struggle and suffer. It is not just about the limbs it is about the pressure on internal organs too. I cannot imagine the pain he feels. He is cute, He is in pain, very sad.

honestly the more i think about this, the more horrified i am. this dog is adorable, but we are anthropomorphizing it when we look at the pictures of its cute face and assume it is happy. but when you watch the video, the poor thing is struggling to move and literally cannot do it, it's just flailing on its back. the money being raised to care for him could take care of tons of healthy shelter animals instead.

I know... a lot of disabled animals have great lives...... But sadly from a behaviourist stand point I really don't think that's going to happen for this guy. The myriad of genetic abnormalities and the problems these present make it unlikely he will live a long life or a happy one. At this point... Just put him down after the few good months he's had. It's always quality over quantity of life.

I am frankly appalled at the number of commenters who think that poor little Bonsai should've been put down. What is wrong with all of you. Would you say the same if it was a human child born with mangled legs and dysfunctional arms? How would you suggest we kill that child - lethal injection perhaps - like we use on serial killers? **************** The pup WANTS to live, and frankly, he has no idea he's "disabled"... he' just working with what he does have instead of feeling sorry for himself for what's missing. ******* The people caring for him know that he still may not make it, but they are willing to give him the best chance possible to be happy for as long as he can. There is NOTHING wrong with that!!

It's not terrible. It's realistic and logical. The 'dog' isn't fighting for his life, he is being forced to live because his owners are to weak to use their common sense and do what is right for the little baby. What kind of life is this little one going to have? You think it's better that he lives in pain? Actually living is not what I would call it. Existing is it. After all, he's never going to be able to run, to feel the joy of playing fetch and other things like that. He's just going to be there... to exist... while his owners carry him around, change his little dippers and things. They need to do what is right for the pup and not what they think is right for the owners.

This is why people should stop breeding. This poor baby shouldn't even exist in the first place. Breeders do cruel things to the natural order and now this beautiful little soul has to suffer greatly because his breeders wanted to make money. It's one of many things that clearly shows humans have lost the way. They don't see the whole picture or collective, it doesn't matter who they hurt, as long as they get their money. It truly makes me so sad that it makes me sick. What the f**k is wrong with people who do and support this?

Sorry, but that is a terrible story! I don't believe that 'natural selection' is or even should be a guiding principle in dog breeding (Although 'Health' should be a guiding principle and it clearly isn't!). Hardly any of our much loved races would be here to live with us it that were the case. But any decent breeder would have had that pup put down the moment it arrived! You can put this poor little dude an a dozen of cheerful blankets and talk to it in sugary tones while it struggles, the video just makes me cringe. And it makes me wonder if the owners actually have some kind of Munchhausen syndrome? I have a dog and it's the apple of my eye. I know how much we can love them and how adorable puppies are. But I really, really do hope that if my dog ever comes near this kind of suffering and disability I will have the strength to release her. Poor lil' dog. Stupid humans.

I don't believe that 'natural selection' is or even should be the main guideline for dogbreeding. We'd have hardly any of the races of dogs that we so adore. However, this story is just awfull! You can put this poor fellow on a cheerful blankets and keep chirping to it in cutesy tones as long as you want, the sight of it struggling just makes me cringe and I actually wonder if the owners have some version of Munchhausen syndrome? Any decent breeder would have put that lil pup down the moment it was born and I really, really do hope that neither parent will ever be allowed to breed again. I have a dog and it's the apple of my eye. I know how much you can love them, how cute puppies can be. I hope that in the future I will have the strength to let my dog go before it comes anywhere near this kind of suffering.

All the comments saying it's selfish and that the pup should be put down. Pretty sure the pup would say F**K YOU, I would like to live. You gonna put a person down for not having legs? No? Why? He/she can't enjoy so many aspects of life, but i think he/she would find a way, no? The idea that animals are that far below humans is pretty sick, that's just my opinion though. Feel free to s**t on it, cause I'm gonna write yours on a piece of toilet paper after I read it, unless it's positive, then yay for you being an actual human being! ; P

Why don't the owners do the humane thing and euthanize him. This poor little guy can't tell them how miserable he is.

I am frankly appalled at the number of commenters who think that poor little Bonsai should've been put down. What is wrong with all of you. Would you say the same if it was a human child born with mangled legs and dysfunctional arms? How would you suggest we kill that child - lethal injection perhaps - like we use on serial killers? **************** The pup WANTS to live, and frankly, he has no idea he's "disabled"... he' just working with what he does have instead of feeling sorry for himself for what's missing. ******* The people caring for him know that he still may not make it, but they are willing to give him the best chance possible to be happy for as long as he can. There is NOTHING wrong with that!!

It's not terrible. It's realistic and logical. The 'dog' isn't fighting for his life, he is being forced to live because his owners are to weak to use their common sense and do what is right for the little baby. What kind of life is this little one going to have? You think it's better that he lives in pain? Actually living is not what I would call it. Existing is it. After all, he's never going to be able to run, to feel the joy of playing fetch and other things like that. He's just going to be there... to exist... while his owners carry him around, change his little dippers and things. They need to do what is right for the pup and not what they think is right for the owners.

I think that allowing this puppy to live is causing undue suffering.

This is why people should stop breeding. This poor baby shouldn't even exist in the first place. Breeders do cruel things to the natural order and now this beautiful little soul has to suffer greatly because his breeders wanted to make money. It's one of many things that clearly shows humans have lost the way. They don't see the whole picture or collective, it doesn't matter who they hurt, as long as they get their money. It truly makes me so sad that it makes me sick. What the f**k is wrong with people who do and support this?

Sorry, but that is a terrible story! I don't believe that 'natural selection' is or even should be a guiding principle in dog breeding (Although 'Health' should be a guiding principle and it clearly isn't!). Hardly any of our much loved races would be here to live with us it that were the case. But any decent breeder would have had that pup put down the moment it arrived! You can put this poor little dude an a dozen of cheerful blankets and talk to it in sugary tones while it struggles, the video just makes me cringe. And it makes me wonder if the owners actually have some kind of Munchhausen syndrome? I have a dog and it's the apple of my eye. I know how much we can love them and how adorable puppies are. But I really, really do hope that if my dog ever comes near this kind of suffering and disability I will have the strength to release her. Poor lil' dog. Stupid humans.

I don't believe that 'natural selection' is or even should be the main guideline for dogbreeding. We'd have hardly any of the races of dogs that we so adore. However, this story is just awfull! You can put this poor fellow on a cheerful blankets and keep chirping to it in cutesy tones as long as you want, the sight of it struggling just makes me cringe and I actually wonder if the owners have some version of Munchhausen syndrome? Any decent breeder would have put that lil pup down the moment it was born and I really, really do hope that neither parent will ever be allowed to breed again. I have a dog and it's the apple of my eye. I know how much you can love them, how cute puppies can be. I hope that in the future I will have the strength to let my dog go before it comes anywhere near this kind of suffering.

I'm happy that a special needs puppy gets $$$$$ in donations and a loving home. What about all the breeders who are MAKING these "special need puppies?" Are you happy with them, too?

That puppy is the cutest thing I have ever see! I think they are doing the right thing by keeping him. Just because he has a few extra legs doesn't me he can't live a good honest puppy life . #GOD-BLESS-YOU-PUPPY

All the comments saying it's selfish and that the pup should be put down. Pretty sure the pup would say F**K YOU, I would like to live. You gonna put a person down for not having legs? No? Why? He/she can't enjoy so many aspects of life, but i think he/she would find a way, no? The idea that animals are that far below humans is pretty sick, that's just my opinion though. Feel free to s**t on it, cause I'm gonna write yours on a piece of toilet paper after I read it, unless it's positive, then yay for you being an actual human being! ; P

He can not move on his own, he has to poop in diapers, and what about when he get's bigger and heavier? He already has big preassure on the internal organs. On the other hand he doesn't know anything else
