Buddy is an 6 mo. old AKC Golden Retriever living in Georgia. He was born without much of a front left paw.  Just one pad and no toes or nails.  It is also smaller by a few inches.   His mom is a special education teacher and he has 2 older golden retriever girls who fuss over and mother him, and a human brother and sister.  Buddy is wild about the out of doors.  He loves to dig with his one paw and he is partial to chewing on the big girls’ tails.   The older dogs are very gentle and patient with him.  He even sleeps with one golden girl in his kennel. Buddy is learning a lot and at 6 mo.  old we hope he has a long happy tripawd life ahead of him.
