Looking at Squish the Rescue Pup today you will see a dog that is simultaneously unlike any other and precisely like every other.
Looking at Squish the Rescue Pup today you will see a dog that is simultaneously unlike any other and precisely like every other. He had a ruff-ruff start in life when he was severely injured and abandoned to be picked up by the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter, where he was in dire shape. After further investigation of his injuries, Squish was set to be humanely euthanized. However, fate intervened in the form of Dr. Danielle Boyd, who was working at at the hospital Squish was being evaluated at as part of her ophthalmologic veterinary internship.
Dr. Boyd, believing Squish was set to be euthanized, brought him home for a night. She felt as though this sweet pup, suffering in unimaginable pain should have a quiet night, free from cages and kennels. She recalled in an interview with The Dodo:Squish came from some harsh beginnings in life but thanks to the love of Dr. Danielle Boyd, he has recovered more than one would have imagined possible and today his crooked jaw and squishy, malformed face is a beacon of hope.
With so much reconstructive surgery having been done on Squish's jaw, his love for the tennis ball was astounding.Dr. Boyd reflected on the timing of everything and it is definitely a testament to how fate intertwines special dogs like Squish with humans like Danielle. When Squish first arrived at the shelter that once tried to seal his fate, it was the same week that Danielle had lost her 14-year-old heart and soul dog and she had been grieving terribly.Having overcome his harrowing ordeal and finding true love with his human companion, Danielle, Squish is "spreading happiness, one Squishy smile at a time." He spends his days in the veterinarian hospital where Dr. Boyd works. She says that not only does he show clients whose pets are facing eye removal surgery how happy he is with one eye, he is a favourite of the entire staff.
