Woman Fells In Love And Adopts Dog Born With A Super Short Spine

Meet Tilly, a puppy that is so special. Anna Marie Giannini saw two dogs online and one of them was a bit different.

But she already felt in love with Tilly.

“When I arrived, they had told me one of the puppies was deformed and they could not find her a home, which could lead to euthanization,” Giannini told The Dodo. “I had already fallen in love with her and planned out our next year together in my head before he was even done saying that awful statement.”

Tilly has a short spine syndrome since she was born. Her back is so short but this girl never gave up.

Actually, she is so strong.

“When I got her, she was this dirty little fluff ball,” Giannini said. “She fit perfectly inside my hand, and as we drove home from where I picked her up, she lay in my lap and looked up at me with her big brown eyes, and I knew she needed me and I needed her.”

But Tilly has such a big heart and her owner adores her.

“She was born with a syndrome, and just like humans born with a syndrome, her body has learned to adapt and she is thriving,” Giannini said. “She has had no health issues or complications because of her short spine, and [we] expect her to live a long, healthy life.”

Also, Tilly loves showing her mom how grateful she is.

“She sleeps in bed with me like a little human, putting her head on the pillow and tucking her legs into the blanket,” Giannini said. “She always has to be near me, touching me. When I’m cooking she stands right between my legs. When I’m doing homework, she is laying right next to me with her paws on me.”

Dog is so gentle to her mom and is so grateful that has such a loving home.
