When Emma’s daddy came home after 6 months deployment, the special needs dog did something that shocked her family … she joined her brothers Mikey and Jesse in welcoming him at the door, something she had never, ever done before.
Emma is a 1-year-old American Bulldog/Pitbull mix with a birth defect called Hemivertebrae, which causes spinal and neurological problems.
“My husband has been gone for 6 months. Before he left, we adopted (are long term foster parents for SNARR-a special needs animal rescue) a special needs puppy with a severe birth defect,” said Emma’s mom, Melissa Proctor Swanson. “Emma and her daddy were very close! It broke her heart when he left. When I come in the door, she normally sits at the end of the hallway and waits for me to pick her up. This time, when her daddy came in, she went to him!”
“Melissa said, “She has a spirit unmatched by any dog. Her determination to do things is inspirational.”
You help Emma by watching and sharing her video. Her rescue (SNARR) gets money for ever single view of her video, which goes towards helping pay for her expensive daily medicine!
