Meet Putol, a remarkable dog from Casiguran, Quezon City, Philippines. Born with only her two front legs, she faced daunting odds.
However, thanks to her compassionate owner, Danilo Codilego Jr., Putol defied her disability and learned to gracefully navigate life on two legs.
Their journey began when Danilo, a local truck driver, encountered Putol six years ago. She was one of four puppies brought to the bakery where he worked.
Due to her unique condition, no one was willing to adopt her. But Danilo saw something special in Putol and decided to give her a chance at life.
For the first two years, Putol couldn’t walk. However, her determination and Danilo’s support allowed her to master the art of balancing on her two front legs. The result is a heartwarming video of Putol running alongside other dogs and exploring the streets of Casiguran.
Putol’s disability hasn’t hindered her role in the community. She’s become a vigilant guard dog, barking at strangers, and charming everyone she meets. Her presence has endeared her to the neighborhood.
Danilo explains, “She has no problems when I have to travel for work because everyone takes care of her. She is not picky about food and enjoys everything we eat.” Putol’s focus remains on embracing life and spreading joy wherever she goes.
Putol’s journey is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their animal companions. Her story reminds us that compassion and determination can overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
In a world often filled with obstacles, Putol’s journey stands as a beacon of hope, proving that with love and support, any challenge can be overcome. She is a living testament to the extraordinary strength of animals and the enduring power of the human-animal bond.
