this puppies owners were set on putting him down but how this woman stepped in will make you cry but before we start please take a moment to give this video a like subscribe to happy world and hit the bell so you'll never miss these great stories this little puppies owners didn't think that they had a choice after all the dog's health problem is meant that it was unlikely he would survive for more than two weeks so euthanization seemed like the kindest option but one of the vets couldn't bear to see this furry little fella put to death and she was determined to save his life this heartwarming story came to the world's attention on July 21st 2016 after veterinary technician and social media user cafe Kalle uploaded these pictures to injure cafe collie known in everyday life as Chelsea Whitney wrote that the story began when a big birthday surprise was delivered to her clinic you see Whitney works at the VCA veterinary care animal hospital and referral center in Albuquerque New Mexico on my 30th birthday a chocolate lab had a c-section at my veterinary clinic and had nine puppies whitney wrote one of those puppies had a cleft palate and the owners opted to euthanize the puppy a cleft palate is a congenital condition that's not surprising to encounter in pure breads like Labradors as it has an occurrence rate of approximately 25% unfortunately though the cavity between the nose and mouth can cause a multitude of breathing problems including coughing and sneezing it can also result in eating difficulties pneumonia so without surgery and then around-the-clock care the chances of this baby dog survival were poor after all the cleft palate can often lead to difficulty nursing and a lowered immune system potentially making this otherwise wheat puffs even weaker it is a blessing to be able to provide humane euthanasia to puppies with cleft palates Whitney wrote on MJ depending on the severity of the cleft and if it affects the heart or soft palate puppies usually do not thrive Whitney added the space in the roof of their mouth does not allow them to suckle properly and they eventually die of starvation but the vets where Whitney works were armed with this knowledge and it seems that were that they were determined to intervene Whitney wrote knowing the sucker I was another vet tech got the family to sign the puppy over and got me to foster him firstly Whitney was able to satisfy the little pup suckling instincts by giving him a binky comforter then as his new mommy saw a fighter in him Whitney gave the dog an appropriate name she named him Bronson inspired by the movie in which Tom Hardy plays one of Britain's toughest prisoners Charles Bronson Whitney also became an attentive mother to the little chocolate beam bringing Bronson with her to the clinic in order to maintain his feeding schedule after all the disabled pooch took his food every two hours by either tube or syringe and as Bronson grew he ditched the binky in exchange for suckling on Whitney's fingers Whitney later described this activity as a true bonding experience his mommy further had to play with him Lots in order to keep him active because his cleft palate meant that he couldn't have to toys but what did Whitney's colleagues think Bronson's cleft palate was a particularly bad one it extended from his heart all the way to his soft palate whitney wrote the surgeon i worked with was a little skeptical about my taking this type of genetic defect on but also wanted to see how bronson would do the surgeon also kept tabs on Bronson's cleft palate to decide when was the best time for surgery still the little labrador got up to all kinds of mischief in fact whitney was no match for the quick puppy as he loved to put whatever he could in his mouth mind you this obsession might have had something to do with him moving from his milk feeds to blended food as he grew it became a trial and error session of coming up with a perfect concoction of canned food that would go through the red tube easily whitney wrote what's more as Bronson's cleft palate became larger with age it became more of a problem keeping things out of the inquisitive dog's mouth I always had my hands in his mouth pulling everything out I was super careful but he was quick whitney roamed in fact Bronson had been sedated three times to remove objects stuck in his cleft and Whitney was now preparing to switch him to solid foods needless to say then Bronson's mommy was getting anxious for his corrective surgery even still the surgeon didn't think that the puppy was ready in the end Bronson surgery day came when he was nearly a year old this was almost an end to him being a sheltered highly energetic lab with sinus infections and bloody sneezing overall he had done quite well and most of the veterinarians were quite shocked that he did as well as he Witney road so on Whitney's 31st birthday it was surgery time for the chocolate beam and his mommy was beside him for the operation the surgeon explained to me as I watched that he was literally going to lift the skin from the right side flip it to the left tuck it and suture it but it was more complex than that she wrote still the plucky little pooch was a fighter like his namesake and he came through the operation with flying colors in fact the surgery may have been harder on Whitney as she anxiously waited to see if the procedure would take who was extremely nerve-racking the first weeks she admitted luckily he did fine Whitney was rightly showered with praise online for the love and dedication she showed in giving a dude puppy a chance at life I have a cleft lip and palate and I'm human it is a nightmare to deal with through a hero for not giving up on this Dom wrote one touched commenter indeed the now three-year-old lab has a new lease on life and his mom couldn't be happier he's able to play with toys chew on rawhides swim in lakes go on walks bring these sticks basically live the rest of his life as a perfectly normal lab she concluded I love my dogs
