Dudley The Cow Got A New Prosthetic Leg And Is So Happy Now
After being rescued from a cattle rancher, Dudley is doing much better with his new leg.
This is Dudley. He's only a year old and was bought by a cattle rancher who purchased cows and began "fattening them up, and then selling them for a profit to be slaughtered."
When Dudley was a baby, some twine was caught around his foot which stopped blood from flowing to it; his foot eventually fell off, and the rancher tried to help as best as he could, which wasn't much.
The kind folks at the Gentle Barn, an animal rescue service and outreach program, decided to step in. They saved Dudley and got him the care he needed.
Through a long process, he was fitted for a brand new prosthetic leg, which brought him so much joy!

This Man's Shocking Video About His Reaction To Ecstasy Has Gone Viral
Jordy Hurdes has been left with muscle spasms and a stutter that might be permanent after a bad reaction to an Ecstasy pill. WARNING: Contains footage that some may find upsetting.
Twenty-year-old Jordy Hurdes has posted a series of shocking Facebook posts about how his life has changed dramatically after taking party drugs.
Hurdes came as close as you can get to dying after taking an Ecstasy pill, and he says he has been left with a stutter and muscle spasms that could be with him for the rest of his life.
Jordy posted this lengthy Facebook status on Saturday while he was in hospital recovering after taking a bad Ecstasy pill.
"I myself am lucky to be alive now," he wrote. "I now have the possibility of a permanent stutter and twitch due to nerve or brain damage. Please please please don't take the 'cheaper fun' option, because you never know if it could happen to you. If I can get this into at least a couple of people's heads then I could have saved someone's life."
Yesterday, he posted a video showing the physical damage the drugs have caused.
"The party scene's pretty big these days in Australia, and so is Ecstasy," he says. "Look guys, this isn't for sympathy or anything, this is for awareness."
"It's played a huge part in my life and affected a lot of people in my family as well as my friends. Doctors can't believe I'm still alive, so I'm grateful I'm still here. It's a waiting game at the moment to see whether I'll have permanent jerking like I do now, and with my stutter I'm not sure it will get better any time soon. But just, please guys, don't get sucked in. It all seems like fun and games and a cheap $25 pill – but it's not worth it."
"Say no to drugs – do it for me. Please, guys."
"I just want to thank everyone for all the support and all the messages. Sorry I haven't been able to respond to all of them, I'm just so exhausted from muscle spasms."
"Please, guys, just don't do it. Love all of you."
The video has been shared over 35,000 times in less than 24 hours, and hundreds of people have praised Jordy's resilience and courage.
