Dear Small Pawsers,
Well, miracles of miracles, Little Elf, who was thrown from a car and had major orthopedic surgery just two short weeks ago, is walking and I do mean FAST! Click here to see the video!
I took this video of him Sunday Morning, in a park, in Chicago! WGN News wanted to do an update on Elf’s progress, so I flew up to Chicago on Saturday night, courtesy of Small Pawsers Joan and Pat Borders, who used their miles to send me, and first class at that! Thank you so much Joan and Pat!
This is the news story that WGN did on Sunday morning. It takes a minutes for the video to load but it’s worth it!
WGNTV: Dog thrown out of moving vehicle on the road to recovery.
Here are some more pictures I took of him yesterday, for those of you who have been asking after him!
Elf is such a happy dog! He just looks up and wants to be loved.
Elf’s Foster Mom took these. He was groomed and bathed for the first time since he was thrown from the car. He was so very thin. She is feeding him four times a day to get him to where he should be.
So we have a little celebrity here, named Elf.
His story has gone around the world. These are just a few of the major National and International news media outlets who have covered his story.
There are so many more, including radio stations both here and abroad.
MSN News:Dog thrown out of moving vehicle on the road to recovery
Yahoo Finance News: Dog miraculously survives after being thrown from moving car: ‘It’s a holy horror’
AOL News: Dog miraculously survives after being thrown from moving car
ABC News: Dog lucky to be alive after being thrown from moving car
US News and World Report: The lucky dog has been named “Elf” in honor of the holiday season.
UK Daily Mail: Tiny white dog named ‘Elf’ by rescuers is lucky to be alive after ‘being hurled from a moving car and left to die’ on a busy street in Chicago
- A tiny dog named ‘Elf’ was thrown from a moving car on a busy street in Chicago
- The bichon, 3, underwent surgery to fix a fractured pelvis and dislocated hip
- Witnesses got him help after seeing him being hurled from the car on Sunday
- The dog has been named ‘Elf’ to mark Christmas and will be put up for adoption
Elf’s story has been picked up by the Associated Press and published in many cities and states here in the US as well as overseas. People all over the world have been praying for him and I believe THAT’S why he is trotting along just two weeks after major ortho surgery.
Many thanks to everyone who helped or prayed for Elf. He is a testament to the Bichon breed’s loving spirit.
We have over 200 adoption applications for him when he is ready to be adopted, which will be in about 10 more weeks.
He will be re-checked by the surgeons at Medvet Chicago at 6 weeks post op to decide about rehab for him.
Next, the clock is ticking if you want to get one last tax deductible donation in!
If you are going to need to pay taxes, you might as well make a donation to your church or synagogue, or your favorite charity, Small Paws Rescue!
We wish all of you a Happy and Healthy New Year!
I see great and wondrous things happening for Small Paws Rescue, the Bichons, and the people who love them!
Happy New Year!

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco’s “Humphrey”, I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
