PET OF THE WEEK

Cookie Monster

Cookie Monster is a 3- or 4-month-old American bulldog mix. He was found by Animal Control after he had been hit by a car. He had a very damaged front leg that had to be amputated and he is still learning how to deal with just three legs. When he went for a walk the other day, he got tired halfway down the road and needed to be carried back, according to Orange County Humane Society officials.

He is very affectionate and well-behaved, humane society officials say. Those interested in adopting Cookie Monster can meet him from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the humane society office, 21632 Newland St., Huntington Beach. For information, call (714) 536-8480 or visit www.OCHumaneSociety. Petfinder.com.
