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.

Abandoned and Chained: Heartbreaking Tale of a Dog Used as Bait, Left Helpless as Infection Takes Over

Slapdash Deliverance of St. Louis received a phone call from a dog chained to a hedge near someone.

Rescuers were taken aback by the state of this canine, which might easily have been used as a bait canine.

 He’d gotten enormous mouthfuls all over his torso, face, and legs, and his face was so blasted he couldn’t open his eyes. He had gotten septic after leaving the infected incision unclothed for several weeks. The unfortunate dog was chained up and allowed to die.

Saviors brought him to their facility, where he was placed on an IV and administered antibiotics for months. The nanny was summoned to assist by the round clock.

Marco, the dog, turned out to be a legionnaire. Despite the lengthy path to rehabilitation, he made it!

 Despite all, he still loves, relies on, and seeks love from people.

He now lives in a loving family with numerous other dog siblings, with whom he enjoys playing. His dog-fighting days are long gone, and while the scars will remain, his history does not define him.

 

He presently spends his days cuddled up on the sofa with his new family or running about with the other kids in his large neighborhood.
