Ella Peggie was born without her left arm after suffering from Amniotic Band syndrome, but this has not stopped her from finding a way around by herself.
And when her mum, Brooke Hodgson, spotted an abandoned Staffy Boston Terrier Cross on a Facebook listing, she knew they would become the best of friends, because the puppy only had three legs.
Talking to Daily Mail Australia, Brooke explained that she knew she was meant to adopt Snowy as soon as she saw him: "My heart skipped a beat when I saw Snowy online. 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 realises she’s different or when she’s having a bad day, she will see the resemblance and know that she’s not alone," she added.
However, while it did take Ellie a while to warm to Snowy, the two have become inseparable, and constantly “snuggle up together”.
“And I’ve noticed every morning, Snowy would look for Ella first before she runs to anyone else. It’s quite a unique bond and just beautiful to see that. I know it will make a world of a difference for Ella. 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 right now," said her mum.
What an amazing young girl, we wish her and Snowy a very happy life.
