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 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!
