3 Year Old Girl With No Feet Gets A Puppy Without A Paw (8 pics)
Sapphyre Johnson is a 3 year old girl from Tennessee and she had to have both of her feet amputated when she was very young. Her parents recently got her a new puppy named Lt. Dan who is missing a paw and they've become the perfect companions for one another.
3-year-old Sapphyre Johnson’s feet were amputated when she was 1
When she first saw Lt. Dan, who was missing a paw, she said, “That’s my puppy. He’s just like me”
Some breeders suggested that the puppy’s breeder, Karen Riddle, put him down
She knew, however, that he could be a great therapy dog
“A lot of kids don’t see other children or animals that have issues like they have,” her father told the Greenville News
“In the future, I could see Sapphy at her first show-and-tell in school and she could bring in her dog and explain about her dog and herself,” said a hospital specialist
“Everybody loves dogs and they’ll want to know about her dog that’s special like her”
