However, what shocked and left them most heartbroken was his dark past. These people learned that his legs weren’t amputated, nor was this a congenital deformity. They realized that Joey had a terrible fate – tortured, dismembered, and then abandoned.

It’s hard to even imagine what he went through “thanks” to those he trusted the most.

Incredible Resilience

It took some time for these people to recover from the intial shock and cry all the tears for this poor being. However, they quickly pulled themselves together and went into action to ensure him a brighter future.

One of the rescuers gently took him in his arms and brought him to the car. As soon as they gave him some love and attention, Joey’s smile immediately returned and he showed his true colors.

A positive energy and a good soul were not the only things that adorned this dog. Despite everything he’d been through and his current condition, Joey also showed incredible courage and resilience.

The vets discovered a tumor on his intimate part, and he also needed a dog wheelchair to move around. Although these were all difficult burdens to carry, Joey overcame all the obstacles with a smile on his face.

In this fight, his greatest support was his foster mom, who was patient and full of understanding, but also his rescuers who did not want to give up on him.

Meanwhile, a group of good people worked on making him custom prosthetics so he could stand on all fours again and live the life he deserves.

New Beginning

Just like all the challenges he managed to overcome so far, no one doubted that Joey would soon walk again.

That day, Joey woke up happier than ever, as if he knew what was coming. With the help of his foster mom, he jumped into his wheelchair, and with his head held high and a recognizable smile on his face, he headed toward his new beginning.

Although most dogs take a long time to get used to “new legs”, Joey proved to be a special canine. As soon as they put the prosthetics on his legs, he immediately started walking and his happiness was endless.

Those who were with him in his most difficult battles could not hide their tears of joy. It was a moment in which a new life was born and in which the light of the future dispelled the darkness of the past.

Joey proved that with resilience, love, and the biggest smile, everything is possible in life.
