-- -- turning 23 minutes past the hour more than three months ago.

Three month old Joey was severely injured when he was brutally tossed out of a moving car.

He's been able to walk and run again against all odds and on this holiday we give.

Much much much thanks to this miracle popping up getting choked up firing right now.

Joining us from the veterinary medical center of Long Island is Jolie's new mom doctor Linda Loudon and the star man of the hour himself -- -- for folks that don't know the story of Joey on this Thanksgiving -- please remind them exactly what happened.

He must have put in garbage bag close to the bag and thrown from a moving car.

And good samaritan heard -- crying.

When she pulled up to a a stop sign.

Opened the bag and found this little puppy and -- he came to us in really bad -- what -- his injuries he had three fractured vertebrae in his neck.

And -- shock and thoracic trauma.

And his paralyzed in all four limbs and we didn't think he'd never walk again.

I'm crazy about this city you know -- -- every little check down the folks that did this is now my haven't heard any updates from SP CA and I know they're still working on.

Sometimes sometimes -- -- one that was a few years ago where he sets.

The -- pimple on fire them for actually he didn't make it that was awful.

They found him -- turn demand because of the rewards.

Physically obviously it's amazing that he's recovered but mentally he seems so -- you would think it dog it was treated that way would be very aggressive towards anyone and not want to trust yeah how -- yes let's -- at least nervous around people but he -- -- really lovable dog he's got a great personality.
