Bueller was born with congenital defects causing significant issues including paralysis.
He was not able to walk and the breeder deemed him useless and unworthy of life. Mercifully, he opted to bring the puppy to a shelter instead of euthanizing him. He was handed over in a cardboard box. The breeder walked away with no remorse whatsoever.
It is proved that these congenital defects are caused by irresponsible breeding. Yet the man turned his back on the puppy. But shelter volunteers took Bueller in hoping they could help him.
The vet that volunteers at the shelter strongly believed that Bueller had a zest for life. The puppy wanted to live so they would do their part to help him.
Bueller needed physical therapy in order to strengthen his muscles. Hydrotherapy was the most reasonable option and the puppy loved every minute of it. He pumped his little legs as best as he could. To see Bueller happily splashing around made everyone smile.
The volunteers also worked with a wheelchair to get him used to navigating around. He seemed always determined, barking happily as he tried to get to the treats set out for him. However, his future was still uncertain. That was until Bueller proved that with faith and love, anything is possible.
While Bueller’s new human friends had confidence in the little puppy, they were not prepared at all for what happened next! Bueller’s muscle memory was incredibly impressive. Way before the vet was certain he would walk, the little determined puppy taught himself how to sit up and stand. He used whatever he could find around him to push his little body up. Everyone was totally floored!
No one was sure what would happen with Bueller next. But his fate intervened. Bueller’s next “steps” in life prove that any dog is capable of anything they set their heart on. The breeder may have deemed him unworthy of a good life but Bueller proved him wrong.
