This poor little friend was struggling to stand, squirming and twisting, confused and scared. 

“Why can’t I stand up?” his button eyes seemed to say. We gently lifted him and hurried him for urgent treatment. He had a fractured leg but more serious was a wound at the base of his spine, which caused nerve damage.

Petey was the sweetest little patient, so young, barely weaned from his mama. But we had to keep him in order to save his life. Petey’s wound healed, and the nerve damage is reversing as his young body works hard to compensate. But he has no trouble enjoying life, with new friends and so many people falling in love with him.
