In the face of adversity, a remarkable dog named Putol, born with only two front legs and abandoned by its previous owner, has exhibited incredible resilience by mastering the art of walking on two legs. Despite the myriad challenges, Putol has led an inspiring and commendable life.
Putol came into Mr. Codilego’s life when a former coworker brought four puppies to his workplace.
The rest of the puppies were adopted, but the small two-legged Putol was not chosen.
The belief was that Putol would not survive for very long, and I was the only one with the courage to take her in. Despite the uncertainty, I took a chance on her because I felt compassion for her situation. There were no words to describe our feelings except for empathy towards Putol.
At the beginning of her life, Putol struggled to walk, but after two years of practice, she developed the ability to balance herself using her front legs.
Now, at six years old, Putol is fiercely loyal to her owner and can often be seen guarding Mr. Codilego’s home.
“Putol acts like a watchdog and will bark if she sees a stranger,” said Mr. Codilego.
Mr. Codilego also mentioned that Putol can display jealousy if he pays attention to another dog, but on the whole, she is amiable and enjoys popularity within the community.
During Mr. Codilego’s work-related trips out of town, Putol receives excellent care from others, and she adjusts without any issues.
