A little dog down on his luck has made a big impact on one Terre Haute woman.
Kendall was found wandering the streets with a bad leg. He was so matted they couldn't even tell if it was a girl or boy.
The veterinarian ended up having to amputate the leg and Kendall when to a foster home to rehabilitate.
A friend called Patty Thoms to see if she'd be interested in adopting him. When she went to see him she says it was love at first sight.
Patty says his disability doesn't seem to bother him. “Now he does fall because he runs hard and then hell fall and then he just jumps right back up and he’s off and running again. He doesn’t let anything slow him down. I’ve found that animals, Kendall in particular can bring so much joy to a person, and especially I’m by myself so he’s such a good companion and I just can’t imagine not having an animal. “
You can help dogs like Kendall. NBC-2 will be live from 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at Honey Creek Mall for our fifth annual humane society telethon.
