Teeny Swimmer's Syndrome Puppy Who Was Flat As A Pancake Learns To Run

Mirak was found all alone and unable to run due to swimmer's syndrome, but watch him stand up one leg at a time and the moment he teaches himself to RUN!

Video Script:: 

I had to meet this little guy. He looked like a speck
struggling to move. He was all by himself. I received a message from our
colleague in Puerto Rico that there was this infant pup
that couldn't walk. When you lifted him, he
was flat like a pancake. His legs still went out
backwards like Superman. When I first laid eyes on him he was this tiniest little ball
of courage and bravery. And my heart just burst. He was funny. Once you had him on the floor
he was chasing your feet. He had such a big personality in such a tiny little boy. I sent it over to my buddies
at Pibbles Plantation and I said,
"What do you think?" The girl said,
"Let's get him here. We need to get working on his therapy
as fast as possible." Once he hit the farm, he had this fierceness
about him. He had this tenacity
about him. How he was trying to move and how he was trying to
interact with the other pups. The older dogs [were]
like nanny dogs to him. To cuddle with him at night and to nap with him and even to clean him
really helped. And him wanting to
follow the big dogs. And wanting to be
right in there like, "OK, I can do this. I can be just as able
as the rest of them." He was up on his back legs. And he started to walk. And to even trot and run. Now it's a whole new world. He definitely doesn't have
any size perception, because he thinks he's just as big
as the big guys. He's a feisty little fella. He loves to give a little bark
and a little squeak. Just to make sure you
knew he was there. There were lots of amazing
families that wanted Mirak, but [he] stole the hearts of
a family that's close to home. [We're] excited because that
means we get to see him all the time. And watch him grow. And he has a very
big life ahead of him. As tiny as he is,
he's not delicate. He's this rough and tumble
little boy, but with this big giant heart.
