Well myself and the person i work just saved a puppy from being put down as he had not had anything to drink or eat for 3 days or even made any type of noise for that amount of time. we picked him up one friday and about half an hour in to our trip home the dog started to make some strange noises (choking sounds) when my friend put his little finger in the dogs mouth he could feel something stuck in the back of the dog throats, once he removed the item we saw it was a blue lego brick, with it removed we felt a bit better about the dogs chances but new the next few hours/days would be telling of if the dog was going to pull throw or not. it only took half an hour to an hour and he had perked up a bit so we gave him some water and a small amount of puppy food to see if he would eat or drink anything and sure enough he was able to eat and drink again. as the days past he got more and more like a puppy should be and after week was bouncing around and barking etc we did then send the last owner a short video of how he was now and all he said was can we have him back. bearing in mind this puppy was only about 5 weeks when we got him and the last owner was going to put him down due to not being able to make any money off him. it shocks me to think that some people can act like this towards animals and the blokes whos dog he was just did not give a sh*t for this animal as there was no money in an unwell dog but his dad was very upset and sad to see the puppy go.
One other thing myself and my mate did on the way back home from getting him was to name him Bruce as it was the only name the dog responded to (so i guess you could say that he named himself) but we felt it unfair on the dog to not be named if the worst was to happen. but he is now 10 weeks old and fully fit and also now a full time workshop puppy, bit of a shame he is mainly white but he is turning out to be quite an awesome dog with a very good character, gets on well with other dogs and children, loves attention like most puppies i guess and is very gentle
this was how big he was when we first got him, bare in mind that teddy next to him is about 8 inches high
and a more up to date photo of when he meet my mates dog Monty, now he seems to think he is bigger than he is lol
thought it would be interesting to see what pets people have and share the story of Bruce with you guys and girls
