美國一隻無家可歸的可憐攣毛狗Bobb,十年以來都沒有人替牠打理過狗毛,致其狗毛嚴重打結,更影響到腿部的血液循環,其中兩隻腳更慘遭截肢。

Bobb一直在洛杉磯由一班流浪漢飼養,但當動物拯救員發現牠時,已察覺其狗毛長期欠缺打理,如果是直毛還好,但Bobb的是攣毛,因嚴重打結,更影響血液流動,有兩隻腳已有部分地方脫落。

牠被送到聖地牙戈的獸醫診所,獸醫為牠完全切除了右前腳和左後腳,亦為牠拔掉蛀牙。

雖然被截肢,但修毛後的Bobb容光煥發,康復神速,即使只剩下兩隻腳,但牠仍然能夠走路,牠現時生活得很愉快,學懂了很多不同指令如「坐下」、「躺下」等,又獲安排參加探望病者的活動,希望以牠的勵志故事令到這些患者重拾生存意志。

不禁要說一句,髮型真的很重要。
