Little Ella Peggie may only be one-year-old, but she’s already met her soulmate.
Ella, who suffers from Amniotic Band syndrome and was born without her left arm, has found a friend for life in a three-legged puppy called Snowy.
Talking to MailOnline Australia, Ella’s mother Brooke Hodgson explained: ‘My heart skipped a beat when I saw Snowy online.
‘I knew she was going to be perfect for Ella – they share the same age so they both have a long life of friendship ahead of them.’
As soon as the 21-year-old from Queensland, Australia, saw Snowy online, she immediately contacted the animal shelter, and just a week later, the Staffy Boston Terrier Cross was a part of the family.
Despite admitting that she was initially worried how Ella’s disability would impact her life, the mother-of-two explained that her little girl’s already put those fears to rest.
‘She has found a way around by herself and doing things her own way. She uses her head and feet a lot to play so she’s adapting quite well. Instead of crawling, she has learned how to bum shuffle around the home.
‘She won’t be able to cut paper using a pair of scissors or do other things that you could do with two hands… But we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now, she’s our beautiful, happy and healthy little girl and I can’t ask for anything more.’
And Brooke is certain that Snowy will help make Ella’s journey even smoother, saying: ‘It’s quite a unique bond… I know it will make a world of a difference for Ella.’
There really is no denying that Ella and Snowy were made for each other.
A truly heartwarming tale.
