These Animals Have Thrived Despite Their Disabilities

Disability Doesn’t Stop Pig The Dog

The mixed-breed pup here is named Pig. Pig has a very unusual appearance, due to a rare birth defect called “short spine syndrome.” She was born to a feral mother in a wooded area, and barked to alert a passing human that the puppies were there. The woman who found the pups adopted Pig.

Pig doesn’t let her strange look get in the way of enjoying life to the fullest, and even seems to like all the attention she gets from it! Pig enjoys doing all the things that “normal” dogs like to do: going on long walks, playing with friends, and napping.
