Animals who are a little different deserve just as much love and adoration.
Just like humans, furry four-legged friends are sometimes born with body abnormalities, diseases, or other conditions that make them look or operate differently.
But these animals can be just as affectionate and loving as any other. If fact, in some cases, they can become a life-changing part of the family like this little dog was to a boy and his family.
This was the case for little Bowie, a horse who was born with dwarfism.
Abandoned at only six weeks old and suffering from improperly growing feet, it seems like no one would come fourth to give him the love he needed.
This was before he got adopted into the most loving home.
Since then the tiny horse has been so happy, and loves to meet any animals that come his way, no matter how big or small.

But after he came into her care, she noticed someone off about his legs.
#3 His little feet were jutting out, crooked and deformed.
If they kept on growing this way, he would likely have trouble walking as he got older.
#4 The specialists fit him with tiny shoes, and he was eventually able to walk properly.
So she took him to the University of Melbourne Equine Hospital do see if they could treat his feet.
#5 Since then, Bowie has been the happiest horse!
