Meet Digby a Dachshund with IVDD Inspired by Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog

Digby’s Mom, Emily emailed me today asking if she would be upset if she shared a video she made of her dachshund, Digby who also has IVDD to help bring positive awareness to this disease to those in the UK where she and Digby live. She told me she used the same music I did in my video about Frankie, but was so inspired by Frankie that she wants to do to help IVDD dogs in the UK. Emily told me she didn’t want me to be upset that the video is similar to mine about Frankie’s and if I was, she wouldn’t share it. Stay tuned to end of post for touching video of Digby.

I was so touched about her concern, but I was thrilled that she wanted to do what she could to help bring more awareness to this disease that is often looked at as a death sentence for dogs. It is so far from that. I told her I was honored she did something similar and by doing so and sharing with those she knows, together we can help save even more dogs with diagnoses with IVDD. Now that is a beautiful thing.

So I asked Emily to send the video on over and I’ll share with my readers and Frankie’s fans. So check out Digby, living a quality life despite an IVDD diagnoses. Could he be any happier?  Thank you, Emily and Digby for this video that will be another extension of our work that will no doubt save more lives. Blessings! Blessings! Blessings!

Special Needs Pet Feature: Sweet Pea (Up for Adoption Soon)

When I got an email from Dona of Dachshund Resuce of North America about this dear little girl, my heart broke for what happened to her. I’m so thankful though that Dona got her out of her horrible situation so she can find a new home with people who love her. She will need lots of love and extra care, but perhaps you just might have room in your home for her?  She will be available for adoption soon!
