It is incredibly painful when my birthday comes and nobody remembers.

On his birthday, we celebrate the life and legacy of a truly remarkable dog named Otto, who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge after five years with Noah’s Arks Rescue. Otto’s story is one of incredible resilience, love, and the transformative power of kindness.

Otto’s Heartbreaking Beginning

Otto’s early life was filled with unimaginable pain and suffering. Used as a fighting dog, he endured countless brutal battles. His last fight was particularly savage, resulting in the loss of his nose and most of his upper mouth, along with numerous injuries all over his body. Abandoned in this horrific state, Otto was found and picked up by Animal Control, who brought him to Noah’s Arks Rescue.
