Sapphyre Johnson is a 3 year old girl from Tennessee and she had to have both of her feet amputated when she was very young. Her parents recently got her a new puppy named Lt. Dan who is missing a paw and they've become the perfect companions for one another.
3-year-old Sapphyre Johnson’s feet were amputated when she was 1
When she first saw Lt. Dan, who was missing a paw, she said, “That’s my puppy. He’s just like me”
Some breeders suggested that the puppy’s breeder, Karen Riddle, put him down
She knew, however, that he could be a great therapy dog
“A lot of kids don’t see other children or animals that have issues like they have,” her father told the Greenville News
“In the future, I could see Sapphy at her first show-and-tell in school and she could bring in her dog and explain about her dog and herself,” said a hospital specialist
“Everybody loves dogs and they’ll want to know about her dog that’s special like her”

The big question is, did the puppy have one missing paw when they got it?
