Hope wants to do everything that Domino does. Rebecca calls it “monkey see, monkey do.” If Domino’s upstairs, she wants to be upstairs. If Domino goes out, she wants to go out. Domino wants to sniff something on a walk, Hope needs to sniff it too. Even though there’s a crate full of toys, Hope only wants what Domino is playing with. Hope will have her check-up x-rays on October 15. If she gets a good report (and we suspect she will), she will continue to have a bit more freedom. As it is, Hope spends a good time out of her crate during the day, sleeps in a dog bed in our room at night, and goes for a short walk each morning and evening. She has plenty of toys and loves following Domino around. Walking doesn’t seem to be painful for her anymore. Hope is a happy dog, and she seems to love her new life.
Broken Puppy Blog
On Wednesday, August 26, I found this puppy (approx. eight months old) in the road with two broken legs. She is a wonderful animal and we are raising funds to cover the costs of surgery and rehab. Keep checking back for updates on her progress.
My wife Rebecca and I are musicians living in North Carolina. We have an awesome rescue dog named Domino (pictured above). Rebecca is a volunteer at the local humane society. From the Broken Puppy and all of us, thank you for your kindness!
UPDATE: Due to the tremendous response to Hope's struggles, we now feel that her medical expenses will be covered. We will not know the exact tally of costs associated with her rehabilitation until late November, but all estimates indicate that her needs have been met. Our gratitude for all who gave to her cause cannot be adequately expressed.
