A life‑saving idea started with a rough‑bred Rottweiler who was barely able to walk and ate bottle caps. The owner, Sandra Bosben, cared for him after he showed signs of severe joint disease and a scar from a fighting ring. She discovered that his health could improve dramatically with a special hom
