Couple Drive 2000 Miles Cross Country to Adopt Blind Dog (WATCH)
This couple drove 33 hours across the U.S. to adopt a second blind dog so their own pup would have a brother just like himself. Watch them become fast friends.
A puppy with the same form of dwarfism as a 5-year-old boy has given him new confidence to accept his condition and stand up to bullies.
A little boy sometimes bullied for his dwarfism has newfound confidence thanks to a new dog that happens to have the exact same condition.
The bullying was so upsetting that five-year-old Quaden Bayles wouldn't even let his family talk about the fact that he has dwarfism—until he met Buddy, a Shih Tzu rescue dog, who shares Quaden's condition, called achondroplasia.

The pup has been so effective at helping Quaden to accept his condition that he now proudly proclaims how his dog "has dwarfism like me."
"It's been an instant confidence booster, where he's now accepting his diagnosis so happily, like it's cool to have dwarfism now." his mother Yarraka Bayles told TODAY.
Buddy's inspiration isn't exclusive to just Quaden. He has become the mascot of Stand Tall 4 Dwarfism, a group featuring Quaden's adventures that Yarraka set up to help people understand the condition.
