Dog Mom Claps Back After Rescued Boxer Puppy Is Made Fun of Online
There's nothing cuter and cuddlier than an adorable new puppy, and this sweet, rescued Boxer fits the bill! Veterinary Nurse Michelle only recently brought home the new pup and shared a video in mid-March of the baby's first little howls. It was in that video's comment section that people were being very nasty with what they had to say about the puppy.
Michelle said that the dog was born with a cleft palette and that there may be some other issues as well. Instead of leaving it alone, people left terrible comments saying rude things about how the puppy looks. She addresses the 'haters' in this video that she shared at the beginning of April.
I love that the puppy joined in! Michelle kept it clean and classy, and made an adorable video about such hateful comments. In the first video of the puppy howling, some people showed genuine concern over the puppy's health and Michelle addressed it, "We are learning as she grows, she’s definitely not a “normal” puppy, but she is hitting all the milestones she should be. It’s hard to tell specifics at this age." But in this new video, people were much nicer and supportive. People left more than 9 thousand comments, and of the comments I scrolled through, I didn't see any negative ones. My favorite comment made me smile and I couldn't agree more with this person, "Honey, if someone hates on that baby then they don't deserve to be acknowledged!"

Why You Should Consider Adopting a Dog
In a previous video, Michelle explained that at one point she was told not to keep the puppy because of her cleft palate. But she refused to give up on her. Rescuing a dog - especially one who needs extra care - takes a lot of work, patience, and can also be very costly. But these are the dogs that nobody wants, and Michelle has proven she has a heart of gold by taking in the pup.
If you're considering bringing home a dog to make a part of your family, consider adopting one instead of purchasing one from a breeder or pet shop...especially ones with special needs, an adult or senior dog, or one who might otherwise never find a home (did you know black dogs are one of the hardest dogs to find homes for?)
Is a rescue dog right for your family? There are several factors to consider, and they are the same as when choosing any pet. How long will the dog be alone during the day? Do you have space for the dog to exercise and play? Do you have children and other pets? Who will be the primary caregiver? These questions may be the same for whatever pet you choose to bring home, but the reason why it's even more important with a rescue is because of all the issues they may be coming into your home with already...like abandonment, trauma, or neglect just to name a few. If you're willing to put in the time and patience, you may just get the best dog you've ever had...I know that was what happened when I did!
