California animal lover Liz Heather Lee's journey started out as just an
ordinary Drive in early 2018 but as she motored a longer usual route the 28 year
old was distracted by most unusual sight there at the side of the highway was a
curious shape at first glance it looked like a very young dog but there was
something strange about its snout the intrepid Heather Lee gone out to
investigate but when she got closer to the shape her mouth dropped open retail
worker Heather Lee lives with her mongrel dog Jackson in the small
settlement of Greenville in South California in April 2018 hazard Lee
found herself in the heavy glare of the media spotlight with a special canine
but it was not her old friend Jackson in fact the animal in question was one she
had first come across earlier that month when Heather Lee left her house on April
4th there was no way she could have predicted what would happen that day she
was taking a drive in her car with her mother and her sisters passengers when
they noticed something out of the ordinary as a result the party made an
unscheduled and hasty stop it turned out that a small shape on the side of the
highway was the cause of the impulsive interruption to their car journey the
driver had correctly identified the mystery form as a little puppy
but Heather Lee had also singled out something weird concerning the young
dogs snout it looked like Mother Nature had bestowed a very distinctive
birthmark on the mud the animal lover described exactly what brought them up
short to UK tabloid The Daily Express later that April we noticed this black
and white puppy on the side of the road with a perfect white circle around his
mouth Heather Lee said it was so strange we decided to pull over Heather Lee
stopped the car with the intention of checking on the little tyke and its
highly individual marking however when she left her vehicle and approached the
pup it seemed totally terrified consequently the canine took off running
and retreated into a nearby ditch before any human could get close
despite her best efforts Heatherly could not reach the animal in its safe space
so she concocted a plan to lure the popper out by using a piece of tasty ham
as bait she managed to get hold of the obviously ravenous young dog but it was
only then that had Lilly realized what was wrong with the mutts nose far from
being a gift from Mother Nature the white band around its snout was actually
a plastic zip cord it appeared as if some wicked person had used the tie to
seal the poor animals mouth shut furthermore the canines cruel tormentor
had tied the band so tightly that it was cutting into the dog's sensitive flesh
needless to say there was no way Heather Lee was just going to leave the pup or
in such a sorry state with that in mind she whisked the ailing dog away to
Cleveland Park Animal Hospital in her hometown subsequent to a medical
assessment the vet concluded that the pup was roughly ten weeks old for such a
young age the little guy had already suffered so much a week or so after her
roadside discovery Heather spoke about it to her local
newspaper the Greenville News the zip tie had been put around his mouth so
tightly his mouth was all bloody and scabbed she explained the vet believed
he'd been zip tied for between three and four days so it wasn't surprising that
in addition to his injuries the malnourished mutt was awesome Utley 14
pounds lighter than he should have been as well as his other woes parasites of
both flea and tick varieties infested the black-and-white puppy's fur but
despite having endured such an evidently bad start to life there was now some
good news for the dog Heather Lee had decided to offer him a happy home
alongside her beloved Jackson indeed the animal lover decided to call the new
edition Norman and the veterinarian began treating his various issues
straightaway we got his shots and gave him a flea bath Heather Lee explained we
treated his cuts with the vitamin C oil once we got home understandably the
trauma of Norman's highway ordeal distressed him when he was welcomed to
his new Greenville home and how the released neighbors could probably
confirm that as the poor pup er cried throughout that first night nevertheless
his adoptive human mom had already fallen for his charms she was determined
to give the mistreated mutt be forever home he deserved
and Heatherly was not the only one in her immediate family who quickly came to
a door Norman the new arrival wasted little time and ingratiating himself
with his new humans first dog and apparently this came as a surprise as
Heatherly maintains that the discerning Jackson has always been very picky about
the company he keeps the canine fancier said as much to the
Daily Express my other dog Jackson usually hates other dogs she explained
but he seems to really like Norman sweet and timid demeanor they get along so
well yet since the younger animal was just a very young puppy he still had a
lot to learn Heather Lee continued we're struggling with potty training at the
moment but I think that's the case with all new puppies the animal lover was now
working hard to heal all of Norman's scars both emotional and physical and
thankfully the plucky pup has proved himself to be remarkably Hardy initially
Norman had a vivid band of scar tissue from where the zipper tie had embedded
itself into the skin of his snout in fact the vets thought it would be a
permanent brand of his past ill treatment and suffering
however Norman's fur has since started growing back and is doing a good job of
covering the wound however Heather Lee noted that the
replacement fur was a patchwork of white instead of Norman's predominantly black
colored and on the last apart from this feature there are no obvious outward
signs of trauma he endured as a very young pup and Heather Lee was happy to
report this in the article published by the Greenville News he's full of life
energy and happiness she told the newspaper to have had his mouth closed
shot and left for dead he's so resilient on that subject Lea
staff at the Cleveland Park Animal Hospital hope that Norman's story will
persuade members of the public to do more in the fight against animal abuse
the veterinarians there have asked people to volunteer foster donate or to
simply raise awareness of canine cruelty if they feel moved by Norman's plight as
for the little fella herself you could follow the puppers progress on his
Instagram account Norman's happily-ever-after as Heather Lee
concluded to The Daily Express we're just glad to be able to give Norman a
loving home after all he's been through I hope you liked this video if so please
