Two young girls heard a man bragging about cutting the leg off a puppy in his back yard. They immediately went to save him. They took him home to people that they know would help. And those people did. With their help, the little guy made his way to Moosonee Puppy Rescue where he had surgery to clean up his leg and find his forever home with us.
I met Diesel before his surgery. Moosonee Puppy Rescue brought Diesel at the time named Hobbs to our house and he ran around our yard without a care in the world that he had 3 legs. He would try so hard to use the portion of his cut leg. His leg had not even heeled over. There wasn’t enough skin to cover it yet he let me hold him in my arms. He just wanted to be loved.
How could this sweet, little puppy ever forgive humans for what that man did to him?
It’s what rescued dogs do. They forgive in hopes of a better life. I’m so glad he did. He has touched my family’s life and those of strangers that we pass us on the street. Children look at him and question and learn that it’s ok to be different …even for a dog.
He is one happy rescued dog!

Diesel is such a cutie!!!! So glad you had the heart to adopt him! I too understand about rescue dogs, mine still has some separation anxiety (she is almost 10) due to the owners before her neglecting her for those 6 months they had her as a puppy. When we first took her home, she was a bit underweight, she had worms and was utterly terrified of other dogs. She is still timid at times, but I am glad she too had the heart to forgive past human trespasses. We too are joined at the hip!
Great ending to the story!
