An adorable puppy named Petey -- abandoned in a Sacramento park -- can only move by crawling and rolling around because of a brain disorder.
But the plucky pooch has been getting lotsa love courtesy of social media.
Sheri Patterson Miller gushed: “I want him he's precious - he can just roll around my lap.”
A woman named Leah Ann wrote: “Give me! Give me! Give me! I'll take him and all of his extra characteristics!”
The two-month-old canine was discovered with another pup underneath a soaking blanket in the park.
Petey’s pal sadly died before reaching a vet hospital.
But the courageous canine’s doing great -- despite his condition.
“He is still wobbly and showing neurological signs, leading us to believe he may have cerebellar hypoplasia,” the SPCA said in a statement . “He will remain in foster care for a few more weeks while we get him large enough for neuter, then we will work on finding him a special home!”
Petey has now learned to get around by rolling and crawling -- which makes him seem even cuter.
“He's rambunctious, curious and silly,” rescue coordinator at Sacramento SPCA Elizabeth Westphal-Thomson told The Dodo. “He's also very confident and enjoys meeting new people and investigating new environments.”
