Frenchie puppy was so tiny that her rescuer didn't know if she'd make it — watch her barrel into him now! ❤️

00:00 Hi, sweetheart.
00:02 [BARKING]
00:03 So this is the newest baby.
00:05 Just picked her up.
00:06 She had deformities, and they didn't
00:08 think she was going to be able to live
00:10 a regular lifestyle of a dog.
00:13 Oh, my god.
00:14 My god.
00:15 She used to hop.
00:16 It'd be kind of like a bunny.
00:19 Was just bubbly, enthusiastic, hyper, a little spastic.
00:29 That makes you happy.
00:31 She was just always so happy, so playful.
00:34 She didn't have any idea that she had any special needs,
00:38 and I wasn't going to tell her.
00:41 Every dog deserves a life.
00:44 When she first came to me, she was so tiny that I foresaw
00:48 that she'd have to overcome a lot of struggles
00:50 with getting her back legs to work properly.
00:55 But she has that fighting spirit.
00:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:01 This is Nuggie, AKA Chicken Nugget.
01:04 She looked like a character out of a cartoon
01:08 that just evolved into this little chunky Nugget.
01:11 She opened up to my pack, and she just started moving.
01:23 Within the first three weeks that she was with me,
01:26 she was already climbing the little stairs up to the couch
01:29 to get to my big dog, Goliath, so that she
01:31 could climb all over him.
01:32 Then you'd start to see her, little by little,
01:39 putting the feet lower into the ground, starting to pick up.
01:42 It made just such a drastic difference.
01:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:46 We got through all of her shots, all of her rehab.
01:52 Look at this Nuggie.
01:53 Wow.
01:54 Wow.
01:55 It felt like Nuggie was with me for about two years.
01:58 But no, it was just a few months.
02:00 She moved very quickly.
02:03 Honestly, about the fastest that a dog has moved with me.
02:06 You can tell when a dog has that in them
02:11 that they're going to continue on and be good,
02:13 as long as they have the proper adopter.
02:15 Nuggie hit a home run with her family.
02:17 We're going to put you in pajamas and diaper.
02:20 I even got a robe.
02:23 I can see your little legs.
02:25 Luckily for Nuggie, her parents are so amazing.
02:27 They put her into a special rehab program.
02:31 Yes.
02:32 Yes.
02:33 Yes.
02:34 Yes.
02:36 You can tell how much they love Nuggie.
02:38 Whenever her parents need to do something,
02:44 she comes and boards with me.
02:45 Oh, yes.
02:50 She just comes barreling in, and it's every single time.
02:54 Wow.
02:55 She is just a ball of excitement.
02:57 It's like her second home.
02:58 Nuggie's perfect forever home.
03:04 Could not be anyone besides who she's with.
03:07 Who's that?
03:08 Who's that?
03:10 She's 100% enjoyment.
03:12 Nuggie.
