Three-year-old Tucker may look different than other dogs, but that doesn’t make him any less loveable.
Tucker suffers from MPS VI, a mucopolysaccharide disease that causes deformities and various medical issues, and when he smiles he looks a lot more like a bat than a little puppy dog.
His condition also results in him having deformed front paws and cloudiness in his eyes. While it’s difficult for Tucker to walk properly, and he needs to wear special goggles to see, he has adjusted over time.
Tucker still enjoys hanging out with other dogs…
And spending time with his loving owner in Los Angeles.
Tucker also loves meeting other dogs and even people who also suffer from MPS. Below you can see him bonding with a sweet little wheelchair-bound girl who also has the debilitating disease.
No matter what he’s doing, Tucker is always proving to everyone he meets that having special needs doesn’t make someone very different on the inside, and he can still do anything he sets his mind to.
To support this inspirational, amazing dog, you can follow Tucker on his Instagram account, and please SHARE his story with your friends and family on Facebook!
