All dogs are lovely in their own way, and are deserving of excellent, loving homes – even the ones who appear a bit different.
Like one particularly unique dog born with no neck and half a spine, who battled due to his disabilities but finally found the perfect home.
Cooper, an American foxhound, has a hereditary disease referred to as “short spine syndrome” in which his vertebrae are fused together and squeezed. According to Daily Mail, he’s one of just 30 dogs in the world with the illness.
“[His spine] is fused in two places — on his neck and on his rear,” owner Elly Keegan noted, via the Daily Mail “He seems like he has no neck and to look behind him he needs to turn his whole body.”
