Glenda Mosner can’t say no to an animal in need. And in doing so she’s gained a huge following—over 800,000 Facebook fans—whose days she brightens daily with updates about her six-year-old Bulldog, Munster.
unster, a beloved Bulldog was born with spina bifida, can’t control his bladder. The diapers he wears have earned him his nickname, “Mr. Fancy Pants.” Glenda, his rescuer, sees Munster as a “gift from above who is on a mission to make a difference in this world one way or another.” The same might be said of Glenda. Glenda had previously rescued a Bulldog with spina bifida— named Gracie Lee—that she discovered living in a box outside a family’s home. In speaking with the family, they agreed to relinquish the dog to her. In short order, Glenda created a Facebook page, got her hands on a donated wheelchair, and found a forever home for Gracie. It was through this Facebook page that a Montana breeder found Glenda, reaching out to her to see if she could help home one of her Bulldog puppies born with spina bifida. Most dogs born with the condition are put down but this breeder couldn’t bear to euthanize the pup. Glenda not only readily agreed to help, but also said she would take him herself if she were closer. The breeder offered to fly Munster to her if Glenda would cover the cost, and the rest is history.
