Bonsai, Sweet Dog Born Deformed

This little pup was born with caudal regression syndrome which leaves the lower spine deformed, sacrocaudal dysgenesis which leaves it with a very short or no tail, and possibly a disorder called spina bifida which leaves its hind legs weak. At birth, Bonsai was born with a dysfunctional pelvis, stunted and paralyzed legs so that both of his legs were eventually amputated.

The front legs also have problems with swimmer puppy syndrome which makes it unable to stand properly on its two front legs. This made his internal organs experience excessive pressure and he had to undergo surgery again to make Bonsai's condition better.
Bonsai also cannot control its body's excretory system. Finally he had to wear diapers all his life because of this problem. But despite having various health problems, Bonsai is a happy dog. He seems to be enjoying life to the fullest. He can even do handstand tricks now.

This little pup already has his own facebook account to support him. He has even become a social media star on Facebook with followers of 13,000 accounts. He is playful and excited like most dogs. If you see his passion, you will even forget that this dog is different.
Bonsai owners contacted the Friends of Emma organization to help this tiny pup. Friends of Emma is an Arkansas organization created with the goal of helping dogs with congenital problems. A YouCaring page has also been set up to raise funds for this 'half a bulldog'.

Bonsai was born from a breed place in Arkansas. The practice of breeding dogs is done by selecting certain dogs to get dogs with certain qualities and characters. To breed dogs like this requires extensive knowledge about dog genetics, dog health and the purpose of doing this.
Even so, some dogs sometimes have characteristics that cannot be passed on to their offspring. If forced, these characteristics can lead to disease, health problems or disability. A documentary from the BBC titled Pedigree Dogs Exposed and Pedigree Dogs Exposed – Three Years On says that crossbreed dogs are at risk of having health problems.
