The Wildest: Meet This Inspiring Online Community of Parents to Three-Legged Pets
by Michele C. Hollow

In February, two weeks after he returned to his old seat as a host on The Daily Show, comedian Jon Stewart shared that his dog, Dipper, a three-legged Brindle Pit Bull, had died. He didn't get far into his monologue about Dipper, who had lost his right leg after being hit by a car as a puppy, before Stewart began to visibly tear up. (The internet also collectively wept.)
“In a world of good boys, he was the best,” Stewart said about Dipper, whom Stewart’s family adopted from New York City rescue Animal Haven 12 years ago. He concluded with this sweet message: “Boy, my wish for you is one day you find that dog, that one dog that just…it’s the best.”
So much awareness os being raised about the joy of being owned by three-legged dogs. Thanks for posting all of these awe inspiring coverage these precious tripawds amd their hoomans are getting.
Ya' forgot to give us a "tissue alert" when reading the tribute to Jon Stewart's dog♥️😥
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Oh yeah the Jon Stewart video, sooooo beautiful!
Yes we've gotten a lot of coverage this year, and overall, three-legged dogs are in the media a LOT. This is a huge change from where we started in 2006, and it makes us happy to know that they are seen by much of the public in a new light these days. And that is of course thanks to the involvement of people like YOU in this community of crazy pet parents!
