Found a 3 legged dog!

[WOLFCRAFT]

I almost ran him over with my car.
He was next to a busy road and I was afraid if I leave him he'd definitely get killed out there.
I'm trying to track down his owner but having no luck. It doesn't seem like anyone is looking for him!

I'm starting to love the little guy. He's awesome.
And who the **** doesn't put a tag on a 3 legged dog??
I might have to keep him.

[jbm]

Keep it!!!!

[hugovsilva]

You have a good heart bro. Much respect.

[vpchill]

Keep him, That could be a Sign. Maybe you need him like he needs you.

[F4iGuy]

Def. keep him.

[DSM4Life]

ewww, give it back to the streets.

[Matt]

Cook it and eat it...

[j4ever41]

LOL,didnt you have a pet rat a few days or so back? oddly enough this is pretty cool wish i could find a 3 legged dog,i say keep it.

[CBGB]

I had a three legged dog for a long time. Got her from the pound. Best dog I ever had. Best friend I ever had. I swear the worst day of my life to day was when she died.

[Knockout_Power]

Nice to see other dog lovers out there. Obviously this little guy's got heart. Give him a good home, he deserves it. Dogs dont ask for sympathy, just attention and they give way more in return.

[Kratos]

cut 2 more legs off and leave him with one leg
then you can watch him scoot on the carpet in circles

[scerpico22]

bro, you are like Steve Irwin reincarnated!!!!

first the mouse now the three legged dog...

much respect...

[jfalco]

That dog has obviously been well cared for and I would bet there is a very upset person looking for it somewhere.

Keep looking. At least put up some fliers in the area you found the dog. If you hang some fliers and nobody calls, then you can keep it with a clear conscience.

It would really suck if somebody saw you walking your best friend a year from now, and said, "hey that's my dog!"

OTOH my dog couldn't get lost, and if you're a responsible owner, neither can yours, so maybe the owner doesn't deserve him.

Yep, you gotta try. Maybe you can get weekend visitation.

[Deltasaurus]

well if your on this forum u should be big enough to tell them off LOL

[BritishColumbian]

ewww, give it back to the streets.

LMAO- this made me spit coffee on my keyboard

If I was a dog and an evil scientist cut off one of my legs and tried to attach a cat leg, I would run away too!

[CHUCKYthentic]

name him AR!

[Jfew44]

Keep him. I found a dog on the street and took him in for a few weeks. I ended up giving him away but I wish I would have kept him.

[CBGB]

Local news did a story a couple weeks ago about people getting rid of all of their animals. People loosing their houses and not having a place to keep them. Pretty sad. For me, my dog is part of my family. He would be living in my car, right beside me.

[CBGB]

name him AR!

Or you could give him a peg leg and name him AAARRRRRRRRRRR.

[RA]

ewww, give it back to the streets.

I've been down and out. My dog ate before I did. Can't understand people getting rid of their dog. You will never experience unconditional love like the love you get from a dog anywhere else.

Amen!

To the OP. You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats animals. For what it's worth, I've got nothing but respect.

2nd that

[WOLFCRAFT]

First off, thanks for the kind words guys. It's good to see how many caring and decent people there are on a board that is supposed to be full of "meathead assholes" or whatever the world thinks we're supposed to be like.

UPDATE

Woke up this morning to "Legs" having violent seizures.
His arms and legs were thrashing around, his head bouncing off the floor, jaws opening and slamming shut... it was absolutely horrible.
I held him so he couldn't hurt himself, and put my wallet in his mouth so he couldn't bite his tongue off or smash his teeth. There was already blood in his mouth, and his eyes were bouncing around like crazy.
I'm not gonna lie guys, it was really really scary.

I called the animal hospital here and after a couple transfers, I talked to a woman who told me what to do, and told me that it's up to me whether I bring him in or not since he was a stray. I then had to hang up because he was going into his 4th seizure.

Not two minutes later my phone rings and it's his owner! I just happened to get transferred to a doc that knew him, and after I'd said something about a 3 legged dog called the owner immediately. So within 5 minutes the dog's owner was here. We picked the dog up and put him in his car and rushed him to the hospital.

I just got off the phone with him and "Legs" (real name Casper) is in stable condition. They are keeping him overnight but are optimistic he'll be just fine by tomorrow.

The dog's owner was very nice and said the only reason he didn't have his tags was because he was just groomed the day before. They were at the park near my house and Casper ran off. He also said when the dog is better he'll bring him back over for a visit. He offered me a reward but I told him letting me know ZCasper's alright is all I wanted. Getting to see him again is a nice bonus too.

So here's hoping he makes it though the night okay, and gets to go home tomorrow happy and healthy.
Poor guy.

[scerpico22]

cool fvcking story man...im sure he makes it through!

nice job wolfcract!

[tips the hat]

[xavier_888888]

Wolf you have good heart bro. I'm touched when you said you held him so he could not hurt himself, glad casper is back to the owner. if not for you he could be dead by now.

[JAYROD]

[takedownII]

[Knockout_Power]

they couldnt catch a 3 legged dog? Hopefully he didnt have 4 legs before the last time he ran away.

[Knockout_Power]

any updates on his condition. My girl wants to know

[WOLFCRAFT]

I'm going to give the guy a call tomorrow and see how the dog is doing.
I'll let you guys know what I find out.

[j4ever41]

See, told you should have thrown him back.

[Flagg]

Dont be a dickhead.


@WolfCraft, it sounded like the poor lil fella is epileptic. I wonder if he's had a fit in the past that that led to some sort of injury to his back leg. Aw well it's cool that you found the owner, what a incredible story. Do you think you would have kept him if you never located his owner? You can treat pets with epilepsy but the medication required would cost bucks. Regardless, your story is one of the best ive read in a long time.

You're worth your weight in gold.
