A dog born with the rare short spine syndrome defies incredible odds, teaching powerful lessons about resilience, courage, and living with purpose.-dtht

Cooper is not an ordinary  dog. Due to his weirdly shrunk body, he caught people’s attention on the internet.

Cooper has a rare short spine syndrome (SSS), which involves the screwing and corkscrewing of his spine. As a result, Cooper has no neck, so to look behind him, he has to turn around.

Despite his constrained mobility or inability to walk on hard surfaces or other issues that come with this syndrome, Cooper is happy, now the only  dog in the family. His foster mom, or as he calls her, “Ma”, continues to share Cooper’s life updates on Facebook, spreading awareness of this rare condition and giving hope to other  dogs like him.

Meet Cooper, a goofy-looking dog who has a rare short spine syndrome and is one out of only 150 such dogs in the world

Cooper’s birth defect is a result of inbreeding. It is thought that in 2017, breeders abandoned him at two months old, as animal control officers found him near a suspected  puppy farm

Despite his differences, Cooper, just like other dogs, enjoys life to the fullest by spending time outside, taking sweet naps, and staring thoughtfully out the window
