Tragedy Left Doggo Maimed for Life, But He Never Let It Stop Him, and He Was Rewarded with FURever Unconditional Love
Dogs love us unconditionally.
They don't care if we live on the streets, if our house is dirty, or if we haven't showered in days. Dogs don't care if we don't have a job or a car.
Dogs care only about the love that you can provide—and food and water, of course.
Their loyalty is yours forever, even when you betray them. That fact alone is why we don't deserve them.
This poor little fella never really got the chance to experience unconditional love—until now.
He was attacked by his mother at only 13 days old. The attack almost proved fatal, but instead, it left him partially blind and with a disfigured face.
Hey there, Brodie!
Meet Brodie, a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix.
Before Brodie found his forever home, he was adopted by another person. Unfortunately, things didn't work out, as the former owner couldn't keep up with his endless energy.
So, he was put up for adoption at the Old MacDonald Shelter in Alberta, Canada.
Bath Time.
Then came Amanda Richter and her boyfriend, Brad Ames.
Once their eyes met Brodie's, they embraced him with open arms.
In fact, they adopted him on the spot. They didn't think twice about his disfigured face; they chose to see only his heart.
His Eyes Are So Warm. I Love It.
Brodie had finally found forever unconditional love.
Cutie Boy!
Amanda and Brad decided to dedicate an entire Instagram account to Brodie and his life with them.
In some of their videos, he's joyfully playing with a ball; in others, he's getting tons of head scratches, and you can honestly say he's paying no mind to what his face looks like.
Selfie!
Who doesn't love puppies, right?
Requests from his fans poured into his account to see Brodie as a puppy. Knowing the pair didn't have any, they decided to reach out to his former owner to see if they did.
They were in luck!
“A lot of you guys asked what Brodie looked like as a puppy… so here you go! Thanks to his old family for getting in touch and showing us just how sweet of a baby he was!”
My Heart!
When Brodie went viral, many swarmed his social media account with their love and support.
Awe, He's So Majestic!
Now the spunky pooch has over 65k followers!
He's Too Adorable!
His oh-so-grateful owners quickly posted their thanks for the outpouring of support and strongly encouraged others to adopt animals like Brodie.
Good Boy!
“It’s not hard to see why everyone loves this little goofball as much as we do, lol. We hope that all this recognition will help others make the decision to rescue and adopt, especially those “less than perfect” animals out there! They deserve love as much as anyone.”
Merry Christmas!
“Thanks for all the love! Support your local rescues and shelters, guys!”
