Animal Depicted: Mr. Dimples

Mr. Dimples came to us as a 5-month-old puppy who had been shot twice - near his shoulder and in his head. Miraculously, he survived. And not only that, he would even smile. His wounds were deep, but nothing was broken. His body was full of shrapnel fragments. Our veterinarian believed the gunshots did not happen at the same time. One wound was healing while the other was fresh. We fell madly in love with him, talking to him softly and giving him the love and comfort he had been callously denied. After he had made some progress in his recovery, he went to a medical foster who would allow him to heal in peace and give him all of the one-on-one attention that he deserved. His foster loved him so much, they knew they couldn't bear to part with him, so now he's a part of their family forever!
