We invite our readers to interact here on the pets section any chance we get, and one thing is evident: People are passionate about their companion animals, no matter what breed they are. And as we see at the end of each week, they like to show off their
cute pet photos!
It's always fun to see what our readers' lives are like with their own pets and other animals, and there are always interesting stories to tell.
This week, you'll see all sorts of cute pets, including a pair of very apt office assistants, and an update on one special chihuahua named Tinkerbelle.
Last year, Tinkerbelle was brought into the animal intake department at the Humane Society of Huron Valley after being found with a badly broken front leg that had not gotten proper treatment.
The then 5-month old puppy ended up needing a surgical amputation. But because her white cell count was low, she needed a lifesaving blood transfusion.
Ziggy the pit bull, (click here for his fabulous success story) who was up for adoption at HSHV was able to act as a blood donor for the tiny pup, saving her life. You can read about how all of that came together by clicking here.
Her owner, Heather La Palme, notes that Tinkerbelle has a great life, and shares her home with her family that includes another three-legged chihuahua named Honey, a rescue.
"I didn’t make it my mission to adopt 3-legged dogs -- it kind of worked out that way."
