Treasure!!! Nooooo!!!

SOBBBBBB.

You guys, I just read the SADDEST, MOST HEART-BREAKING/WARMING STORY EVER!!

It's about a little dog named.... TREASURE!


The many faces of Treasure.

Here is a reprint of the original listing that tried to give Treasure to a good home. I'll quote it directly, because it is impossible to paraphrase something that makes you lose belief in a God:
[Treasure] has a genetic birth defect affecting the two front legs which curve outward with the result that he walks very similar to a seal. Paperwork says approx 8yrs, peke/mix, 13 pounds, very thin, cataracts, ingrown nails on 4 paws, unable to walk, generalized weakness.

This is a very sweet gentle little creature. Big brown eyes, soft luxuriant red fur. Big matts behind his ears, approximately 4-5 inch clumps of matted hair. Trimmed some of that last night. Other than that, very few matts on the rest of his body. He seems to be drinking a lot of water. For peeping and pooping, I pick him up take him outside on the grass and he does it all standing in that spot. Then he moves away, kind of a slide/hop, and is simply fascinated with the grass and the scent of the new grass. This is a very gentle loving little boy.

AY MAY GODDDDD!!!!

The story goes on, follows Treasure to his new home, and even through surgery to repair his disease (see, above, tiny, painfully adorable doggie casts.)

Read it all here: The Tragic Tale of Treasure

Someone call Tony Kushner and have him write a spec script for this shit. I think we just found Ben Affleck's latest vehicle.
