HERMITAGE, PA (PRWEB) November 21, 2004 -- Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, seeks to adopt a faithful sidekick -- a three-legged dog amputee who survived a lawn mower accident. The doggy will be called Tripod the Dog. We will work together to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals from lawn mower accidents," says Rick. With the addition of Tripod, I want to illustrate that lawn mower accidents impact animals as well. The doggy amputee offers a great vehicle to introduce children and adults alike to the amputee community. Furthermore, through a pet adoption, I get to save the life of a pooch that might otherwise be terminated. Tripod will be a great dog sending a very important message about amputees and safety." In addition, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man seeks assistance from the various pet adoption organizations in helping him to find Tripod the Dog.

In September 2003, I had a serious accident with a lawn mower. I was sent by life-flight helicopter from my local hospital in the Sharon Regional Health System to the Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where I had a series of extensive surgical operations," says Rick. His lawn mower accident resulted in the partial amputation of his left foot. And I am grateful to all of the medical professionals for their care and talents. Nonetheless, I have had a long road towards recovery."

But, like others of his ilk, Rick has shown true heroic mettle.
