It’s miraculous what animals can overcome when they’re gifted with the love and compassion of a human family.
You may remember the three-month-old puppy, Duncan, who was born with his hind legs crossed and was unable to walk. Without a proper home to care for his very specific set of needs, he would have been put down. His puppy eyes sold his foster family though, who took him in and gave him the amputation needed to help him walk as a biped (a truly remarkable sight to behold).
And there’s Faith, too, another pup who against the odds managed to learn to walk on her two hind legs and provide inspiration to countless U.S. Military veterans. She passed recently after leading a fulfilling life of 12 happy years.
Now we have another incredible story to add to this long list of amazing animals. Petal is a kitty who was born with radial agenesis, a rare condition that left her without the bones that connect her paws to her upper arms. But thanks to her adoptive human mom, Kerry Bowler of Perth, Petal is learning how to support herself on her hind legs and sit up much like Faith did. Her determination is an inspiration, to say the very least.
