Tragedy Left Doggo Maimed for Life, But He Never Let It Stop Him, and He Was Rewarded with FURever Unconditional Love
Some dogs get a second chance at life, and Brodie’s story is one of the sweetest examples. After surviving a brutal attack as a tiny puppy, he was left partially blind and permanently disfigured, but he never lost his playful spirit.
That changed when Amanda Richter and her boyfriend, Brad Ames, met the German Shepherd/Border Collie mix at a shelter in Alberta, Canada. They saw past his injuries, brought him home, and gave him the kind of love he had been missing from the start.
What happened next turned Brodie into an online favorite, and his journey only gets more heartwarming from there.
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.
