She will face the challenges of riding a bike to school or not being able to climb the monkey bars during playtime．But little Ella Peggie，who was born without her left arm，will get an extraordinary opportunity to share a life-changing bond with her new beloved pet，three-legged puppy．
When her mother，Brooke Hodgson，saw the one-year-old puppy named Snowy，she knew instantly it would be the perfect companion for her one-year-old daughter．“My heart skipped a beat when I saw Snowy online，”Ms．Hodgson said．It took just three days for the puppy，who recently had surgery to remove a 1eg，to find a new home after she was sent to the animal shelter last week．
“I knew she was going to be perfect for Ella—they share the same age so they both have a long life of friendship ahead of them．I just know that Snowy is going to increase her confidence when she is growing up．It’s going to be great for Ella when she realizes she’s different or when she’s having a bad day．she will see the resemblance and know that she’s not alone．”
Ms．Hodgson has been touched by the relationship between the pair since the lively puppy became the latest addition to the family．And she believes the caring puppy will be by Ella’s side through the highs and lows of her life．Ms．Hodgson said，“Every morning Snowy looks for Ella first before she runs to anyone else．It’s quite a unique link．I’m just thankful that I was able to give her this dog．I just can’t wait for them to get even closer．Not many people are able to do this for their children so we’re very lucky to have Snowy．I can’t even explain how I feel fight now．”The young mother said Snowy，who was welcomed into the family just a week ago，has been playing a very special part to Ella’s life as well as her three-year-old brother Blake and her father，Stewart Peggie．
