12-year-old boy builds Lego wheelchair for dog born without legs

Gracie is a puppy who due to a birth defect was born without her front legs. She was immediately dumped by her owners but before eventually ending up in a vets office. At the time, the little puppy had lost patches of hair and had maggots crawling on her but she did not lose her will to live. Gracie was slowly nursed back to health and her life turned around completely when she was adopted by a loving family who instantly fell in love with the puppy even despite her disability.

The puppy was adopted by the Turney family that also happens to run an animal shelter. They had already adopted one paralyzed dog before and had experience in taking care of a disabled pet.

Naturally, Gracie had trouble walking but was too small for a wheelchair so the family had to come up with some sort of a solution.

That’s where 12-year-old Dylan came to help – the boy used LEGO bricks to make a wheelchair for Gracie.

A LEGO wheelchair was perfect for the rapidly growing puppy – it was cheap and easy to adjust.

With a little trial and error, Gracie got the hang of the wheelchair.

Soon enough she was running around like any little puppy her age!

Eventually, as Gracie got bigger, Dylan added bigger wheels to the wheelchair.

The puppy got an “adult” wheelchair as she got older.

Gracie’s story proves that any puppy can live a happy and fulfilling life with the help of caring and loving owners.

Endearing Dedication: Pup Remains Loyal on Porch Despite Desertion, Inspiring Empathy and Deepening Family Bonds

Few things are as unjust as when a dog ends up in the care of irresponsible and selfish owners. Dogs shower their families with unconditional love, and it’s truly disheartening when this affection is met with selfishness and indifference.

In this heartrending tale, a beautiful pup named Cupid experienced heartbreak when his family decided to relocate and left him behind. Cupid watched in confusion as his beloved family packed their belongings, loaded their car, and drove away, leaving him behind without an explanation.

All he knew was that this place had been his home, and perhaps, if he waited patiently, his family would return. Fortunately, a compassionate neighbor took notice and contacted Janine Guido, the founder of Speranza Animal Rescue, after seeing Cupid sleeping alone on the porch.

“All I was told was that his owners moved out and left him behind,” Guido recounted. She tried approaching Cupid, but he retreated to his safe haven. She watched as he desperately jumped and scratched at the front door, almost pleading to be let back inside. Witnessing this broke Guido’s heart, and she felt a deep urge to help him.

Guido attempted to offer food to gain Cupid’s trust, but he only ran away. After a 30-minute chase, Guido found the right words to calm him down and reassure him. It may sound strange, but Guido swears that Cupid understood her. Finally, he allowed her to leash him.

“On the ride home, she continued to tell him what was happening, as he understood her,” the story unfolds. “He has been nothing but the sweetest gentleman since coming to the rescue. You can tell he’s still really confused. But he is happy to meet everyone with a wagging tail.”

In due time, Cupid will be ready to embark on the search for a forever family. While it’s disheartening to think about people abandoning their pets, it’s heartwarming to know that there are dedicated individuals like Guido working tirelessly to ensure these mistreated animals receive the love and care they deserve.

Once Cupid finds his forever family, he’ll be in the company of those who truly appreciate and reciprocate his affection.

If you ever come across a situation like this, providing a dog with food, water, and temporary shelter while seeking professional help is a compassionate gesture. However, it’s crucial to involve experts who can secure the dog’s long-term well-being and determine the best course of action.

Remember, every animal deserves love, care, and a safe environment. By reaching out to the appropriate authorities, you can play a vital role in ensuring that abandoned dogs receive the care and compassion they require and, hopefully, find a loving forever home where they’ll never face abandonment again.
