Malnourished Puppy Unable To Walk, Crawls To Rescuers When Puppy Mill Is Raided

We love rags to riches stories, especially when they involve a dog. Daniel is one of those cases where he had a very rough start in life. The adorable dog was saved from a puppy mill by the kind folks at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

He was so weakened when workers raided the mill, he could not stand up. Excited to see help, the little puppy with a big personality crawled toward the rescue crew.

His malnourishment prevented him from using his front limbs, no matter how hard he tried.

Along with 300 other dogs living in squalor and filth, Daniel was saved that day.

“I still remember seeing Daniel for the first time in that dark shed – crawling towards us through piles of dirt and feces, whimpering as if he knew we were there to rescue him,” rescuer Jessica Lauginiger, told The Dodo. “He was full of fight and spirit from the moment we found him.”

Daniel was given love, medical attention, food, and care. As a result, he learned to stand, then hop, and eventually use his front legs for the first time.
