21January 2002 update!
Here's Bud after his right leg opperation last week:
and here he is wearing the fabulous boot Stacie made to cover his cast when he goes out in the snow:
What a trooper he is! He's happy to be home again, and hasn't lost that great Buddy spirit!
Unfortunately, this isn't the end of it. Bud still has to go in for one more surgery on his left leg once this right leg heals.
Please help if you can -- as always, MABR has lots of dogs and limited funds. Bowser's friends have been very generous in the past, so let's do it again and get Bud all the fixing up he needs!

If ever a hound needed your help
it's Buddy.
Buddy was rescued by Western Tennessee Valley Basset Rescue. As you can see from the photos, Buddy's legs are severely deformed. WTVBR's vet recommended that Buddy be euthanized, but the folks at WTVBR saw so much pluck and joy in Buddy that they knew they had to get another opinion.
Buddy's xrays and medical records were forwarded to the folks at Mid-America Basset Rescue, who in turn showed them to orthopedic surgeons at the University of Missouri 'Veterinary Teaching Hospital. These surgeons feel that Buddy's legs will be able to be surgically corrected.
