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 – a three-legged puppy.
When her mother, Brooke Hodgson, saw the one-year-old Staffy Boston Terrier Cross named Snowy, she knew instantly the hound pound would be the perfect companion for her one-year-old daughter.

The 21-year-old mother decided to pen a heartwarming email to the Animal Welfare League of Queensland (AWLQ) asking if they could hold the abandoned dog at the Gold Coast rehoming center.
‘My heart skipped a beat when I saw Snowy online,’ Ms. Hodgson told Daily Mail Australia from her hometown of Loganholm in Queensland.
‘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 give her a confidence boost growing up.
‘It’s going to be great for her [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.’
Ella’s mother seized on the opportunity to give her little girl a ‘fur baby’ of her own after seeing Snowy’s listing on the shelter’s Facebook
