There is nothing more precious than a boy's bond with his dog. Because it is a caring and faithful friend and playmate, a pet can improve a child's life. A boy and his new Golden Retriever puppy have a special affinity because they share something extraordinary.
Marvel, the dog, was born with a missing right front paw. Some people may be unwilling to accept a disabled pet. Marvel's breeder, on the other hand, was confident that someone out there would notice the puppy's beauty - possibly someone who had gone through the same ordeal. “We wanted the dog to find a home with someone who has a comparable physical impairment,” Rolling Oaks Goldens owner Barb Felt told WCCO.
It turned out that the ideal candidate for Marvel was right around the corner. Paxton Williams, a 7-year-old kid from Waconia, Minnesota, was born prematurely and suffered from a leg infection. Three years ago, the doctor removed his foot and replaced it with a prosthesis so that he could walk better. When the family learned that the puppy with only three paws was looking for a home, they thought it was destiny.
Marvel was delivered to their home, and while all of the children adored the puppy, Paxton developed a very special bond with him. The commonality was instantaneously recognized by the young youngster. Paxton's father, Blaine Williams, told WCCO, "It's as if they knew they were special." Both are lacking limbs, but it doesn't stop them.
They often run around and play together. Their steps may be a little different, but they still move with a carefree demeanor.
Paxton has learnt to embrace his own uniqueness through the puppy, who is similar to him. “It provides him the opportunity to inform the youngsters that the dog is just like him, and it also gives him a voice to stand up for himself,” his mother Stephanie explained. What a lovely friendship. It's lovely that these two have discovered each other and built such a strong friendship.
