New York – Surrendered to the shelter as a stray on February 26th, 4 year old Robert had a ruptured disc, could not walk on his own and was in constant pain. With lacerations on his head and legs, it was presumed that he was hit by a car. In the shelter Robert waited four days, with no treatment. On February 29th, he was scheduled for euthanasia, and Pets Alive, an internationally recognized no kill organization, rescued him. Now he is recovering from the surgery that might help him walk again.

I love to share happy endings...especially this one. This dog's eyes just bored through my soul....so forgiving and proud and dignified regardless of what he had been through.
The National Examiner wrote a story about him here with another sad picture, just as poignant.

I am also sharing a recent picture of his robust and happy self with his new dad, Joe. Thank goodness for wonderful rescues like Pets Alive. Take a look at their Facebook page (don't think you have to be a member) - Robert is their masthead picture.

So happy to see this pup has found a new home, and I was able to check out his facebook page, and he looks great! Always nice to hear a great story like the one about this very fortunate dog. Stories like this are a true miracle, and are proof for me that God is great.
