Trip is a very special puppy in more ways than one. You may have to look closely at the photos to see just one of his special features.Trip was surrendered by his owner at 9 weeks of age. He had nerve damage to his right front leg that could not be repaired and the leg had to be amputated. This gutsy little dog has not been slowed down for a minute. He runs after toys when playing fetch, aggravates the other dogs with his rough puppy play and just truly enjoys life.He loves lying in the grass and watching for flying insects he can jump at and chase. He especially likes playing and chewing on ice cubes. He quickly learned where they come from and is right there for his share when you fill a glass. Watching him go after an ice cube on a tile floor is the best entertainment. He is in that chewing phase and is slowly learning that ankles, fingers and toes are not appropriate chew toys. He entertains himself with his toys but keeps a close eye on where you are and bounds after you if you leave the room. This special little dog needs a forever home. Don't look at him as handicapped because rest assured that is not how he sees himself.
