Barber Felt has been a dog for years. On this day, she found a puppy missing its right front paw in a litter of newborn pups, and she searched for a good family for the puppy to adopt it.

Barb Felt has been breeding dogs at Rolling Oak Goldens for over 40 years now, but she had never welcomed a litter (一窝幼崽) quite like this one. First of all, all 11 puppies were female, a rarity that she’d never experienced before. Not to mention, one of them was born without her right front paw. “It was truly a special dog, so we knew right away Marvel is going to have a very special purpose in life,” Barb said.
She took to Facebook to ask her friends and fans of the farm for name ideas for this wonderful dog. Many people contacted her hoping to adopt the little one, but Barb was hoping to find someone who also has a limb difference. She had heard another story about a little dog with a missing paw going to a child with a prosthetic (假肢), and she wanted to do the same.
As luck would have it, a woman saw the Facebook post and instantly thought of the Williams family in Minnesota. The woman not only owns one of Barb’s dogs from a previous litter, but she is also an occupational therapist for Paxton Williams, a 7-year-old boy who had lost his right leg when he was 4.
Barb reached out to Paxton’s family, and his dad, Blaine Williams, was immediately on board with the idea! “We spoke and they came and they met Marvel,” Barb said. “At that time we hadn’t really named Marvel yet.” The adults wisely left the name up to Paxton, who is a big “Avengers” fan. Naturally, he loved Marvel, so it stuck! “When they came and met Marvel, it was perfect,” Barb added.
