Injured Innocent

My three-legged friend, Yogi.

After being hit by a car, his previous owners allowed his leg to atrophy and drag for two years since he was no longer "a good hunting dog."

I adopted him two weeks after his amputation.

    Yogi rocks, and so do you! Adopting a pet that has been in a neglectful home, is so rewarding! They really appreciate the love and kindness!
