Description
When Nubby the boxer was born, he was different because he was born without his two front legs. He was small and sick, and his rescuers were unsure if he would survive. However, Nubby began to recover and eventually tried to walk. Without his front legs, he had to scoot or hop to move around. His family knew he would need extra help, but with love, creativity, and hard work, Nubby overcame his obstacles. This true story, featured on The Dodo, shows how special dogs like Nubby can beat the odds with the right support.
