Dog Rescued from the Caribbean Sees Snow for the First Time

When Reggie was found on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, the young puppy was in grave condition. He had a serious injury to his jaw, multiple tick-borne illnesses, and was severely emaciated. However, thanks to a kind veterinarian he made an amazing recovery. She then adopted Reggie. Eventually, the pair moved to North Carolina and then to Michigan.
