Deuce may look like any other adorable pup, but his story is something extraordinary.
Deuce is a bipedal dog who recently found a happy home with Ken Rogers and his wife Melissa, two incredible dog owners with a special place in their heart for dogs born with disabilities, like this two-legged cutie.
While dogs like Deuce are just as capable of offering love and companionship, they face higher rates of euthanasia when pitted against more able-bodied dogs up for adoption. If not for people like Ken and Melissa, Deuce would have almost certainly be put down.
"It's not a hardship for us to have KanDu, he's been a blessing," Rogers told NBC affiliate 9 News. "I think it's important that these guys get a first chance. Not just a second chance."
This pup reminds us of another special dog who narrowly escaped death row, only to prove to be a true miracle for his new forever home. When his rescuer Alex met eyes with him in a shelter, she said, "Petey would have been euthanized. Without a doubt. There was no way anyone was going to rescue this dog." But given a chance at life, Petey proved to be the greatest gift of all to his new home.
