A lovable dog was abandoned and left to perish, but has managed to overcome her disability and can now walk and run on two legs. Putol was born without her hind legs, but refused to let that hold her back. With the aid of her new owner, Danilo Codilego Jr., this six-year-old pup has become a fast runner using only her front paws, as seen in a charming video.
In Quezon City’s Casiguran, Putol can be spotted running with fellow canines and discovering the nooks and crannies of the area’s side streets and drains. Her name is derived from the Tagalog word for ‘chopped,’ which is a harsh yet oddly endearing moniker. Despite her questionable appellation, Putol is adored by locals for her bravery and energetic nature.
Danilo, a truck driver in the local area, shared his heartwarming story of how he met his beloved furry friend. Six years ago, he was working at a bakery when one of his colleagues brought in a litter of puppies to sell. While the other puppies were quickly purchased, one little pup named Putol was left behind due to a birth defect that caused him to only have two legs. Despite this setback, Danilo fell in love with Putol and decided to give him a forever home. It’s a story that tugs at the heartstrings and reminds us of the power of love and acceptance.
Danilo mentioned that the people around them didn’t have much hope for the survival of the person in question. However, he was the only one who dared to step forward and take care of her. Despite the risks involved, he decided to show her kindness and compassion.
“Putol was their only option for a name. Really? What about Molly, Coco, or Willow? It’s hard to believe they couldn’t come up with anything else.”
Putol, an animal who guards a house and is fiercely loyal to her owner, had a challenging beginning. During the first two years of her life, she faced difficulties with walking. However, she persevered and learned how to balance herself on her front legs. She continued to grow stronger and now confidently patrols the home, keeping it safe and secure for her beloved owner.
