Do you believe in that? Well, as a dog lover, I think that saying is very true. And I’m pretty sure this woman named Briana Ibarra will also agree. Briana’s dog, Benny, was suddenly paralyzed in his rear legs. Briana and her boyfriend, James Paniagua, were informed by the vet that the corrective surgery for Benny will cost around $8,000 to $10,000. After hearing how much the surgery would cost them, the couple was desperate in finding a more affordable alternative. James Paniagua told The Dodo that Benny had always been indifferent to him. But he felt sorry for the pup and he wanted to help him. So he did some research about dog wheelchairs and he discovered that they were very pricey. Then James came up with a clever idea, he decided to make his very own DIY dog wheelchair. He went to the hardware store, bought some PVC pipes and other materials, and built a wheelchair for Benny. And it only cost him $40! Watch the video below and check out the wheelchair that James built!

When you can’t hear or see, you tend to appreciate these little things even more.  Susie might not be able to run around, but that won’t stop her from going on adventures!

Keebler is thirteen years old and he couldn’t use his rear legs. In the hopes that his owner might come and claim him, Keebler was brought to the local animal shelter. But no one ever came. The human society was considering the option of euthanizing him because there wasn’t anything they could do for the poor senior dog. But just like an angel sent from above, a kindhearted man stepped in and saved Keebler. Mark Robinson, president of Handicappedpets.com, heard of Keebler’s story. Handicappedpets.com provides products, services, and support to pets with special needs. Mr. Robinson gave Keebler the wheelchair and the gear that he needed to get him up and running! Watch the heartwarming video below! Keeble will have his eye surgery soon. His GoFundme page has reached over $3400. That’s so much more than their $2500 goal! A big thank you to Mr. Mark Robinson and to all those who donated and helped Keebler with his recovery! We hope Keebler will find the perfect, loving home that he deserve!

We love our dogs so much that we do everything we can to make them comfortable and happy. Just like humans, a dog’s body gradually declines physically as they age. And when they get old, some of them may find it hard to walk. Even if they’re happy and healthy, we feel sorry that they can’t move around as much like they used to when they were young. Dragan Dimitrijevic, a computer programmer in Serbia, found a way to help his dog Mika, and the other dogs in his area who is suffering the loss in mobility. He fashioned a wheelchair for Mika out of plastic pipes, old belts, and wheels. When other dog owners heard of what Dimitrijevic had created, they called and asked him if he could help them too!

The wheelchair may not be a cure to their condition, but it helps them move and let them do what dogs normally...
