You not only changed my dog's life but my family's life
You not only changed my dog's life, but you changed my whole family's life. We rescued a puppy at 8 months of age from shelter we did not know at the time he had birth defects in both hind legs that caused him to fracture one of his legs. We tried surgery it has been unsuccessful so at this time UC Davis has recommended more palliative care such as ortho brace, PT and wheelchair. He is great pyrenees and lab mix so big boy at only 11 months of age. But he had not been out of my house for 3 months due to his failed surgeries and his disability. When he used your wheelchair for the first time sunday he took off running and he was wagging his tail and smiling the first I had seen in a long time. It truly brought me and my family to tears. I have the video I posted it about Sammy on your facebook page. I never thought I would end up with a disabled dog at 11 months old, but your wheelchair has given us hope that he can get out and still be a dog with our family. My six year old son is so proud of showing off his dog, Sammy, already in his wheelchair and has taught him a great lesson about disabilities. You can still have a life and your wheelchair is giving Sammy a life back. Thank you.

Hello Ruth! Thank you very much for sharing Sammy's incredible story. It is the most beautiful and rewarding thing to see an animal take off when they get into the wheelchair for the first time or once they become familiar with it. We appreciate everything you are doing for Sammy and for supporting him so he can have a long, happy life despite his disabilities like you said. We are so sincerely grateful to be a part of this journey with you, your family, and Sammy! Take care!
