Mick learns to walk (English version)

Well hello there,

have you read my previous article about the Mia Foundation?

If you haven't yet, you should.... Go on, check it out!

If you have, well you already know what the Mia Foundation is all about. It's about giving every animal born a chance at life

A couple of weeks ago a little boston terrier came to the Mia Foundation with puppy swimmersyndrome, meaning he was born as flat as a pancake. He couldn't walk, he couldn't sit up and he couldn't run.

He was named Mick by the Foundation.

Most of these pups die because of pressure on their chest as they grow larger and heavier, or they are just euthanized at birth.

But not this little guy, his breeder took care of him until he was 6 weeks old and then surrendered Mick to the Mia Foundation, in hope they could help him.

And if somebody could it is the amazing Sue Rogers and her team of Mia Angels.

Well, if you look at this video, it will say more then a million words ever can.

WARNING!! This video will make you cry and smile at the same time.

And just 5 days after this amazing video, the next video was posted, showing Mick, running without bandages or a harness!

You go sweet little boy!

Enjoy, and don't forget to follow the Mia Foundation on facebook or on their website.

Keep spreading the word and sharing with your friends...

A true Angel.... Song

The story from a little, dirty chihuahua who couldn't walk... to a New York Diva on the catwalk.

This story will make you go awww, oh my gosh and amazing!


It all started about 8 months ago when a little, very dirty chihuahua at the age of 1 year came into the hands of Jen Eisenhardt..

She was very much underweight (only weighing in at 17oz) and couldn't walk. She had never learned how to...
She was hand fed every 2-3 hours at her foster to make her stronger for the trip she was about to embark.

The amazing Summer Strand had heard about a tiny chihuahua in need through the NYC Chihuahua Meetup Group.
So she drove from New York City to Niagra Falls and back in 1 day to get her.
And this is where her life actually began.

Summer named her very fittingly Angel Song.

Summer couldn't pet Angel Song because the touch would hurt her, because she was so thin. But she quickly learned that Angel loved to have her muzzle and chin petted... And this is where the love, trust and friendship began!

Here is Angel Song after a week with Summer:

Angel Song now weighs in at 2.5lbs and has a shiny, thick coat...

She still can't walk on hard wood floors or slippery surfaces but has learned to walk on  carpet, yoga mats... 

After a month with Summer:

Angel Song even got to meet her 2 new sisters, with who she shares her fabulous New York life with.

Since then she has walked on several doggie catwalks, red carpets, been in parades and has brought out more awareness of shelter animals. So remember adopt, don't shop!!

The difference a little care and a lot of love can make in a life. And you have to be honest, who wouldn't love a face like hers?


ATTENTION!!
Chihuahua is the second most abandoned dog in the United States after Pitbulls!!

And the same goes for euthanasie in high-kill shelters!!

So please, think twiece before you buy or adopt a pet, because they need love, attention and medical care when needed!!
