Angela Adan is a dog rescuer, so she encounters many sad circumstances that tug at her heart. She rarely cries for the dogs she rescues since she wants to be strong for them. Freddy, on the other hand, was a rescue dog that made her openly weep.

Freddy is a small puppy that rescuers found under the car. He was found by the rescue organization Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue from Tehachapi, California. Incredibly, the rescue boasts 99% adoption success.

The malnourished dog had a variety of health issues, including dental problems and the lack of an epiglottis in the throat. This very important structure prevents fluid from going into the lungs.

Despite her huge medical bills and horrible past, Freddy shone with a bubbly personality. Though Freddy also has a jaw and front leg deformity, she doesn’t let that slow her down.

Freddy’s mom told Dodo that Freddy had taught her to enjoy life in this moment, in this second. In the inspirational video below, check out this little dynamite who overcomes her obstacles every day.
