His previous owner could no longer care for the unconventionally adorable pup so Elmquist stepped up., rescuer workers had doubts about Scooter’s mobility, wondering if he would ever be able to crawl or walk freely by himself.
“From the second he sits his hairless little booty and backward legs on your lap, you feel his warm, huggable power to change the meaning of the word ugly!” Schwartz says.
