Limping Golden Retriever Is 'Miraculously Healed' When Given a New Toy
Limping Golden Retriever Is 'Miraculously Healed' When Given a New Toy originally appeared on PetHelpful.
If you have kids at home, you know that they sometimes fake being sick or injured to get out of doing something, or more often, for attention. If you have pets at home, you know that they sometimes do the same thing, and for Megan Bartels, an inexpensive toy saved her from a very expensive vet trip when her Golden Retriever faked a leg injury.
Megan shared the video towards the end of May, saying that her Golden inexplicably woke up with a limp, and they didn't know why. All he wanted was his favorite stuffed animal and to lay down, with mom doting on him. He was sad and hurt...until he noticed a $7 toy from TJMaxx that was just for him! Watch on to see what happens next.
For some reason, his leg immediately started feeling better and just like that, he was miraculously healed! Megan wasn't too upset - the toy saved her from a $500 vet visit. Isn't it funny how quickly pets (and kids!) feel better when they find something that they want or like?!Viewers got a kick out of the Golden's miraculous recovery and shared some funny stories of their own. @loveunicorns shared, "You can't blame him for being a smart cookie. He loves his momma and he will do anything to have her and get a toy. He knows he is a good boy!"
@lilyandmaverick joked, "He's thinking 'Am I the drama????' Yes sir you are!" @tammycortwright added, "Praise the lord it's a miracle!"
Commenter @Susan Ann Davis pointed out, "He's acting like a human child LOL! Play hurt and if I get something I may feel better!!!" @Jess shared, "When my dogs are hurt, I ask them if they're hurt enough for the vet. It changes their attitude quickly!"
@Ciara Connery shared this relatable story, "My black Lab did this. I brought her to the vet, x-rays, everything. Got her a toy and treats because I felt so bad. Vet told me she was fine, later found out she would do this when she didn't want me to leave for work." Dogs know exactly what they're doing!

Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star
Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James takes precise care of his body, which has helped him play 22 seasons in the NBA at an elite level. Advertisement James is 40 years old. He's the oldest active player in the NBA. The average person wouldn't know that by watching him play, as James made the All-NBA Second Team this year and became the oldest player in NBA history to receive an MVP vote, breaking Michael Jordan's 23-year-old record. A four-time MVP, James has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers (twice), Miami Heat and Lakers. He's a four-time champion and a four-time Finals MVP. James is the only player in NBA history to win a Finals MVP Award with three teams. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James© Soobum Im-Imagn Images A future Hall of Famer, James won his first two titles with the Heat in 2012 and 2013. Mario Chalmers, who was on those Miami teams, recently told NFL legend Shannon Sharpe that James used to get treatment in the clubs. Advertisement "I tell people this all the time, Bron will really get treatment if he was in the club. Like, he would literally have something on his knees or something on his back inside the club. So it's like why is somebody doing that, like that's a real dedication to just be in the club with treatment." Chalmers said. Sharpe went on asking what were the kind of treatments he is doing in the club. "Not ice bags, it'd be like the stim, like the stim machine that shoot electrolyte or electricity in your knees and stuff like that. He always have something [for] recovery." James has said many times that he takes recovery very seriously. The leading scorer in NBA history has never undergone surgery on his body because of an injury. The small forward is arguably the most durable athlete in NBA history. Advertisement Arguably the greatest player of all time, James has career averages of 27.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks. He's the only player in NBA history to rank top five all-time in points and assists. James, who turns 41 in December, has a player option to return to the Lakers next season worth $52.6 million. The King is widely expected to pick up his option and play his 23rd NBA season.
