Vet Saves Chocolate Lab Puppy No Bigger Than Chocolate Milkshake From Euthanasia And Then Adopts It
Bronson the pup was one of a litter of nine that were born to a chocolate lab via c-section. When the owners realised he had a cleft palate however, they decided to have him put down. Puppies with cleft palates don’t have a great chance of survival, but one vet technician was determined to give him a second chance at life.
“Knowing the sucker I was, another vet tech got the family to sign the puppy over and got me to foster the puppy,” she wrote on Imgur. The user, who goes by the name of Kaffekalle, also explains why puppies are often euthanized for such a seemingly minor defect. “Depending on the severity of the cleft, and if it affects the hard or soft palate, puppies usually do not thrive. The space in the roof of their mouth does not allow them to suckle properly, and they eventually die of starvation.”
She fed him via a feeding tube every 1-2 hours for a week and even took him to work with her. When it became clear that Bronson would survive, the vet just couldn’t help but adopt him. And looking at how adorable he is, we really can’t blame her! (h/t: barkpost)
When this vet saved Bronson the chocolate lab from being put down, he was no bigger than a chocolate milkshake!

What a beautiful story - shows there are kind people here & there. Thank you.
Anybody, who shows humane kindness to an innocent pup deserves our praise, thanks and be shown as an example what humanity is all about. It's too simple to kill; a bit more difficult to nurture. Bless you and thanks!!!
I am crying over this. Thank you for being so loving and kind. Thank you for writing a story about it so we can all see. Beautiful story and such a loving, caring woman.
What a very touching story. I am moved by this rare Angel's act of Kindness.
Just the best breed ever ! Loved the story Bronson will have a amazing life
Why are making me cry?!?! She is a beautiful person with a heart made of pure gold!!!!!!
Few of us, animal or human, are born without some defect. Raising any pet or child takes devotion and determination. And lots and lots of love. They are all worth it.
I love animals, plain and simple. This week brings some wonderful instances of kindness and cuteness. The kitten escaping its display stall to be with the puppy next door was wonderful, but now a bit outdated. Dogs getting or picking kittens are always winners. This week, however my favourite is the vet who not only saved and corrected a small chocolate lab puppy's cleft palate, but adopted it in the bargain. Win-win!
People were most likely breeding the dogs, so why not use the $ they get selling the dogs off to fund the surgery? Greed, that's why.
