It is very sad that he had to chew off his paw’s but very good that he will get two new front leg’s. He is a very brave boy ! I wish for him all the best.
Bless his heart! Now that is a real will to live. I hope his furever home appreciates his spirit.
Go Andre!!! What a will to live! Your handsome and lovable, I know you will find a fur-ever home with a loving family that will give you a wonderful life. What an amazing vet team to do this!
Dogs are truly amazing! He will be a wonderful addition to some lucky family’s “pack”. I and my 3 rescue dogs wish him the BEST!
I feel bad for him,but at least he is going to have some leg’s
I think that this is amazing. The will to live is just astonishing. I am so happy that he is going to get the legs that he deserves and I hope that the people that did that to him get theirs too!
Wet puppy kisses to him!!
i’m pretty sure there is a dogster connection that helped this dog. samuel jacob told us about orthopets.com and we took all the information with us from thier website nearly 2 years ago when we spoke to the specialty vets. rio got a brace made and all went well. the alaskan vets know of orthopets from rio who learned of it through dogster…just thought that was a fun ancedote. best wishes to this sweet and unfortunate dog on finding a wonderful furever home…
We saw this on the news this morning – even the news readers were tearing up. This is wonderful for the sweet dog – apparently he is a lovely, well behaved dog and his foster parents said it will be hard to give him up.
People are so awful setting snares – I can’t imagine the awful pain and distress he went through – like any animal caught in a snare like this. Terrible.
I HOPE that Andre will have a long,full, HAPPY
life . I hope that his story will be updated, soon !

I, too, am already looking forward to an update. I want to hear all about the wonderful person or family that adopts this dog.
I hope this wonderful dog will have an awesome home and will feel great very very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My heart goes out to this Dog ! Where is the location of this dog and has anyone come forward to adopt him? I live in Michigan !
It is unbelievable that there are people in this world who are so cruel that they would set a snare for a domestic animal.
I am convinced they are the same people who are so thoughtless or arrogant that they run red lights and end up killing innocent people.
I t is my fervent wish that these people end up (the sooner the better) in the U.S. prison system and find themselves at the bottom of the power chain.
Good Luck Andre!! POP!
I am looking for a contact person to see about getting my dog a prosthetic leg. Her left leg was remove on July 21,2009. She is having a difficult time in her balance. When she hops her left front leg drops to the ground. She is a cocker spaniel and is 12 ears old. She becomes short of breath and tires out fast. I need some help in finding out who I can talk to about getting my angel a leg.
Thank You
Your help is greatly appreciated
