Puma’s story began in the unlikeliest, and unkindest, of places: a shoebox tossed into a dumpster. At just four weeks old, impossibly tiny and unable to use his front legs, he was thrown away like the box he arrived in. But fate had a different plan. Rescued and surrounded by people who saw not his limitations but his spark, Puma spent the next two years learning, healing, and discovering that he was, in fact, built for greatness. Today, he runs with the wild confidence of the big cat he’s named for, proving daily that resilience comes in all sizes, including mini bulldog.
Puma is a professional goofball with a PhD in scavenging. If it hits the floor, he considers it legally his. Actually, if it hits his mouth, it’s definitely his, don’t bother negotiating. Because of his tiny start in life, he sometimes seeks comfort by gently suckling on whatever human limb he can find, which is oddly sweet… once you get used to it. He also approaches life with the velocity of a bowling ball, so fragile objects should proceed with caution. And his feelings about collars, harnesses, or leashes? Let’s just say the “alligator roll” is his preferred form of protest.
But beneath the comedy is a bright, loving soul. Puma has mastered sit, stay, and wait, and he’s determined to keep learning. He’s a bit of a project, yes, but the kind that fills your days with laughter, heart, and the joy of watching a once-forgotten pup become unforgettable.
