Special friendship: girl and dog share the same fate

The three year Sapphyre was born without feet. Now she is adopting a puppy sharing a similar fate - he lacks a paw.

When Ashley Johnson was seven months pregnant, the doctors noticed an abnormality in the ultrasound. The baby lacks both a few fingers and toes that simply have not been trained. The reason the doctors can not explain themselves.

Today, the three-year-old has already been through several major operations. In order for the girl to receive prostheses, parts of her feet need to be amputated. But despite the difficult time, Sapphyre is developing into a happy little kid!

With a special call, the happiness of the girl should now be completed. One day, dog breeder Karen reports to the children's hospital where Sapphyre is being treated. She asks if a child wants to pick up a slightly different little German Shepherd.

Coincidence or destiny?

The puppy was born without a paw. When Sapphyre's mother learns about the special little guy, she immediately arranges a meeting. It is love at first sight: When the three-year-old sees the missing paw of the puppy, she immediately feels connected to him. To show him that she shares the same fate, she immediately takes off her prostheses and presents herself to the dog without feet.
