Today, May 3, 2013 is National Specially-Abled Pets Day – celebrating amazing pets and their owners who care for them.  It’s not about what they can not do, what their aliment is, it’s about what they can do.  As someone who was an owner of a 3 legged Doberman – who lost her leg due to cancer at the age of 8 years old – she was an incredible tripod girl that lived another 4.5 years after her amputation.  Dogs adapt rather quickly and don’t look back on what was.  My dobie Shanna amazed people every day, every where we went with her 3-legged skills, and never concerned that she only had 3 legs.

So to celebrate these our amazing pets here are a few pictures below of local pets owned by wonderful people who see past the fact that their pet may be blind, deaf, need doggie wheels or is missing a leg or any other aliment.  If you have a picture you want to share about your specially-able LI Pet, post it on our Facebook page.
