Rick was a typical Oklahoma throwaway. A big, beautiful, yellow lab who ended up with people who didn’t value or appreciate him.
His photo was posted on Facebook expressing the intent to give him away to anyone who would take a dog with something “funky” with their front leg. But his former family was sure to mention that it didn’t seem to bother him.
Luckily, A Lab for Life immediately came to Rick’s rescue. It turns out that his “funky” front leg was a badly broken forearm that had been left untreated for most of his young life. Whether or not his former family was aware of the severity of this injury is unknown.
After a failed attempt to save his poorly healed leg with surgery, it was determined that it would have to be amputated. |
