http://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseamarshall/let-ricky-bobby-the-dachshund-zoom-into-your-heartThis is Ricky Bobby, hes obviously the coolest pup in town.
Things werent always so great for him though. He was found along with 58 other long-neglected, sick animals in an alleged puppy mill.
Ricky was one of the worst off: his back legs were paralyzed and, as a result of dragging them on a cement floor, suffered from horrible sores, callouses, and muscle atrophy.
When his rescuers first picked him up, he was so nervous he shook but he soon began to relax.

He knew how vulnerable he was. That's why he was trying to make himself invisible.
Seeing the happy endings/new beginnings is so powerful. I think it is far more motivating than seeing only the endless suffering...

the videos always bring me to tears. He's the guy who rescued Fiona, the little blind dog that was living in a trash heap. There is always a moment in every video when the dog realizes that Eldad is a friend and their whole body changes. It's just awesome.

Fiona was the first I saw. I've seen several since them. I have 2 "lucky leashes" in my car.
