What do you get when you have three noses, three BIG hearts, and six legs? You get a pack of extraordinary two-legged dogs! Meet Cyrus, Lucky, and Deuce! Cyrus, a little Terrier cross from CA, is the cutest little dog with the most soulful eyes who was born with only hind limbs. Lucky is from Egypt and was left for dead on the street after likely being hit by a car, and has only front limbs. Then there's Deuce, who runs with a pack of able-bodied dogs at the dog park on only his right front and right hind limbs. Although Cyrus and Lucky have wheelchairs to assist their mobility, their owner, Domenick Scudera, says Deuce pulls him on leash with his sturdy, solid, and stable frame. All are certified therapy dogs and all are Domenick's family pets. He and his dogs are on a mission to inspire and give hope to people who are experiencing similar challenges. These dogs dispel misconceptions and provide joy to all who meet them. According to Domenick, they are like "regular dogs" at home, with all the same routines because "dogs only know what they have, not what they don't." There are many life lessons to learn from these dogs, if we take the time to listen and learn.
