Description:
Ergo, aka Nobbi, is a four month old Lab puppy. His leg was irrepairably injured and had to be removed. As tragic as this is, I can assure you that dogs, and especially puppies, recover and compensate amazingly well. If you need proof, just check out the video of Trey, another three-legged dog who has found a wonderful home. I will tell you that Ergo is a wonderful little puppy. When I saw him with his injured leg, he just looked at me with those big eyes and wagged his tail like, "It's ok, as long as you love me I can do anything!" It can really break your heart!
I guess I should tell you the story of his name. When I rushed him the the vet, they asked me his name. Have you ever had to come up with a name under pressure? I said, "Nobbi" thinking, well, that's cute. Then, later on I was told his leg was going to have to be removed. I thought, we can't call him Nobbi ~ that's insensitive! So when I posted him on the website I named him Ergo, you know, he needed a new name, ergo I named him Ergo. Of course, Judy loved the name Nobbi, all his vet work says Nobbi, so what am I supposed to do? He has two names : Ergo and Nobbi! There!
So this angel has healed beautifully from his surgery and is now ready for a forever home where he will be loved and spoiled just like he deserves!

*** How familiar are you with the Labrador Retriever? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
