Hi all! Many thanks for all your nice comments and your concerns, but I think it is pretty obvious that he was fed the proper diet, from baby dog formula to dry kibble, otherwise he would't be here. I can choose what I eat and I make the necessary adjustments to feel good, but I wouldn't do that to an animal, they have their needs and I have mine. He loves fruits and veggies though :) IMG_0914.jpg

Having hand raising a kitten a mother cat abandoned I know the care required. Named her Precious. Her eyes hadn't even opened yet and our vet advised she would probably not live without her mother since she was so young. I was determined to take care of her. Feeding every 3 hrs, bathing private parts with warm water and cotton balls to facilitate urinating and defecating, having to learn what was needed to be a "mother" to her, having to take her to work with me so I could care for her. With a lot of care and love she thrived and survived. Precious died of a ripe old age of twenty. So GOD BLESS YOU for taking that dear furbaby and giving him the care and love he needs to live! Of course you have plenty of helpers too!

Don't know who would have suggested on putting the puppy down but I believe all life deserves a chance to live a happy life. I too am curious about the Momma pup. I do know that no matter the breed, females sometimes kill their young ... thinking maybe she should not have anymore pups. God bless

Relaaaaax people!!! the fruit was a TREAT, and he gets ALL THE NUTRIENTS AND FATS he needs probably from the solid DOGGIE FOOD she feeds him (you know...food made especially for dogs...i bet it was for growing puppies as well). Jeez, how people love to criticize, pay attention before judging. Thumbs up for taking care of this adorable puppy ^^

How big will he ultimately get? Please update pics when he's full-grown. I get why ppl say you should have let nature take its toll but we're only human, with feelings, and empathy, and you did a very compassionate

I think she meant his options were limited as far as what people food he can get from her; not limited as to what she will give him for his diet. There is a picture where he is clearly eating kibble. Kudos to you mom for opening your heart and taking on the huge responsibility of caring for him. He is your dog and if you want to feed him a piece of fruit, you go right ahead.

Is there an ig to see continued updates? If not I understand and can respect that. You are one amazing human, thank you for giving him a chance.

To do what you have done ,is in my opinion absolutely wonderful ,and the pictures show just how he has blossomed .Animal lover,I think you are a animal angel God Bless you and all your pets

seriously ??? do not make dog a vegeterain it will die pleasebuy normal dog food for him

Yay! I feel all happy and set up for the day now - what a great family!

This is a lovely post. Thank you for sharing. He is so sweet and special.

How is he walking? he seems very healty so I am guessing the right puppy food is providing the nutrients he needs.

what a beautiful puppy... well loved. He will be an awesome dog.

Lovely that you recued him, BUT: particularly for this early phase of development he, he MUST eat lots of protein and fat. Without it, his development will be significantly stunted. Please don't think there's anything sweet or noble about a vegan puppy. You will harm him by forcing your human diet on him!
