In Santa Ana park in Orange County, California, Chewie the Yorkie was discarded like trash. Although both of his front legs were broken, the tiny dog smiled at strangers, hoping someone would be able to help him. OC Animal Care rescued him after he spent days in misery, writes ilovemydogsomuch

Chewie’s broken legs were healing in a twisted position after an X-ray was taken at the hospital. Sadly, the poor baby had suffered the injury several weeks ago, but his owner never took him to the vet. Chewie’s owner could have broken his legs, then dumped him.

The vet performed a difficult surgery to fix Chewie’s legs. The rehabilitation after the surgery was undoubtedly tricky, but the fragile boy turned out to be a solid trooper! He trusted his diligent caretakers whole-heartedly and by the next week, he was happily frolicking about in the grass even with his cast still on!

After Chewie recovered completely, he was adopted! His new mom, Cheryl, is head over heels in love with this little boy, while his human and doggie siblings also adore him to bits. Well done, sweetie! Chewie has certainly charmed his way into our hearts with his innocent smiles and bright spirit!
