A puppy named Gracie was born without her front legs. The breeders simply threw the baby away when she was only 2 days old. Fortunately, the little girl was found by kind people who accepted her and decided to give her a good life.
The family took care of the child but did not know how to give her movement. Strollers for paralyzed dogs were custom made and very expensive. The puppy grew quickly, and such a stroller, even in the manufacturing process, could already have been small for him.
So Dylan, a 12-year-old boy, built a pram for the puppy from his Lego builder, which was given to him for Christmas. The stroller turned out to be comfortable and compact, plus its size could be adapted to the growth of the puppy. When the hairy child becomes an adult, it will be possible to form a permanent and sturdy stroller, depending on the individual sizes.
In a few weeks the baby got used to the stroller. Gracie is now running around the house and walking down the street. As soon as the stroller is too small for her, Dylan will add details and resize it.
To make the dog comfortable under the belly, they put a soft foam rubber. A couple of months later, large wheels were attached to the stroller.
Gracie got a real wheelchair when she grew up, but thanks to a temporary one she was active,
she learned to use a wheelchair and had no bedsores. Gracie was lucky, because she found her home and caring people.We want every street dog to find her home!
