Houma "Fish-Face" with his toys. - July 2010 |
This is Houma!
Houma's quite literally been through it all! Rescued during a hurricane in New Orleans, he had to have IMMEDIATE emergency surgery for wounds on his head, neck and torso. Houma even has an AMAZING scar about an inch wide that runs the entire length of his back. Like I said, this dog has seen some tough times!
Through it all, this little Carp Fish-Face is IN LOVE with LIFE!
Houma is such a happy little boy! You'd never think ANYTHING bad ever happened to this guy if you didn't see his abuse badges. It is incredible to me that so much could happen to just one individual and they're not bitter towards life.
I've personally sponsored Houma for a couple of years now. He's my first sponsored pet at Pets Alive. I even wanted to adopt him the first moment I heard about him. At the time, he was still in some pretty touch and go bad shape internally. Houma still requires the right diet for his digestion, but you would not BELIEVE just how dog of a dog this guy is! To see Houma playing with his toys is to witness the pure innocence and joy of life everyone should experience.
Awww, what a sweet face. So happy Houma wound up where he did after such rough beginnings. Animals are so amazing with their ability, if given the chance, to relearn how to trust...and once they give it...endless amounts of love.
