Hudson the pit bull had a horrific start to life. As a puppy, he was found abused and nailed to some railroad tracks. The poor thing was in such bad shape that his rescuers feared he might not survive the ordeal. Thankfully, Hudson was a fighter and he pulled through.

Sadly, the cute little guy lost one of his paws in the process. Thanks to some very kind strangers and a cutting-edge prosthetic, however, Hudson was given a whole new life.

What a touching story. I’m so glad they were able to give Hudson the chance to run and play like every dog should.
