A heartfelt moment, Meets the Person Who Stopped the Pit Bull Puppy’s Death
Even while it might be difficult at times, there are many lovely moments that can only be made possible by the selfless efforts of volunteers.
Joey Wagner, a marine biologist from Nova Scotia in Canada, volunteers at the Baie Ste Marie Animal Society. A pit bull mix dog who had been cruelly mistreated and needed some tender loving care was brought to Joey’s attention in 2013. Joey showed up just as the dog was going to die.
Joey and the rescue crew took the puppy, whose they called Mojo, to Parade Street Vet, PEI Small Animal Hospital for treatment of acute dehydration and demodectic mange. He had totally lost all of his fur and was covered in mite bites by the time he was three months old. As Joey watched, the puppy’s mange was becoming worse as a result of malnutrition and his unhygienic living conditions.
In a Facebook post, Joey said, “When Mojo was surrendered, it was a very short process and a very emotional time.”
As Mojo battled for his life, Joey and his wife Leta fell in love with him. Despite the terrible suffering he had through, Mojo shown a profound ability for compassion and forgiveness. After hearing about his problems, a lot of people asked for his assistance.
As soon as Mojo spotted Joey, his little tail began to wag. Joey writhed his entire body to get closer to his new father, his face covered in kisses. Joey couldn’t help but grin as Mojo thanked him for giving him another opportunity at life.
Joey and Mojo’s joyful reunion has been enjoyed by the globe for more than seven years. Mojo is happy and well-cared for now that he is a member of Joey and Leta’s team. He never entirely grew his fur back, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Since then, the Wagner family has used his tale to inspire others and generate money for animal rescue groups.
The nuanced reaction from Mojo proved that animals possess intellect. Joey had aided Mojo when he was at his most helpless. Their separation is minimal.

A visually impaired beagle named Buddy Mercury has gained international acclaim on social media for forming an incredibly charming musical duo with his human sister. Despite his blindness, this music-loving canine exhibits remarkable piano-playing skills and harmonizes delightfully with his partner, showcasing a joyful spirit that remains undiminished.
Buddy Mercury, an eight-year-old beagle mix who was rescued, resides in Long Island, New York, with his human parents, Laurie and Glen Wolfe, and their 5-year-old daughter, affectionately referred to as Buddy’s “Lil Sis.” The couple adopted Buddy from a North Carolina animal shelter in April 2016 after he was discovered as a stray. They welcomed their daughter into the family the following year.
Laurie, 41, and Glen, 42, shared that Buddy has always been an integral part of their daughter’s life, fostering a heartwarming and endearing bond between the two. “It’s been a really sweet relationship to watch,” Laurie mentioned to The Epoch Times.
Buddy Mercury’s remarkable musical journey began just three months after his adoption, when Glen was taken aback while watching television. The piano unexpectedly started playing on its own, leaving Glen astonished. Quickly recording the enchanting moment on his phone, Glen captured Buddy playing the piano.
Initially, Buddy started “singing” in response to sirens from a nearby fire station. Soon, this became a routine, and Buddy began making musical melodies multiple times a day. Laurie shared, “It became part of his routine, and he’s really very happy when he plays because his tail is always wagging when he’s at the keys.”
Glen, a professional drummer, vividly remembers one of their earliest viral videos, in which their daughter entered the room with a guitar. The sequence of events that followed was nothing short of magical, as Buddy, looking out the window, joined in with his musical talents. “It was a magical moment, just unforgettable,” Glen fondly recalled.
In the summer of 2021, Laurie and Glen noticed a change in Buddy’s eyes. Upon seeking veterinary care, they were informed that Buddy had progressive retinal atrophy, a hereditary condition leading to complete blindness. Despite the heartbreak, the vet emphasized the importance of maintaining Buddy’s routines, including his piano-playing. “Through our tears we were smiling,” Laurie shared.
Although Buddy now faces challenges due to his blindness, Laurie and Glen administer eye drops to ensure his comfort. Despite occasional bumps into objects, Buddy’s independence remains strong. In solidarity with Buddy’s adjustment to life without sight, the couple has chosen not to adopt more animals.
Their heartwarming family band, featuring their daughter’s singing and Buddy’s piano-playing, serves as a compelling message advocating for animal adoption. Buddy frequently participates in community events, fundraisers, and interviews, where he enthusiastically performs in exchange for treats.
While Laurie and Glen maintain their day jobs, they hold onto the possibility that their unique musical collaboration could eventually lead to new opportunities. Laurie expressed, “There’s a lot going on in the world, but I think that there’s no better cure for whatever is hurting someone [than] choosing to rescue an animal.”
