After a Year of Not Walking, Dog Marley is Now Rolling in a Wheelchair

WP_20141013_009

I think you just might agree with me. This is the face of one happy pup!  I received word today that Marley, after one year of not being able to go on walks due to paralysis, is now rolling and loving it.

Thanks to all those that have, and continue to support our mission of helping paralyzed dogs regain their mobility through The Frankie Wheelchair Fund, Marley is the the 32nd dog we’ve been so happy to grant a wheelchair.

Keep on rolling, Marley!

Sneak Preview Just for You!

Dachshund framed print by BriannaThis Sunday, Sept. 21st I will be having an online auction for this sweet and beautiful artwork donated by artist, Brianna Brunsell. You may be familiar with her work through Silly Dog Magnets.

Brianna did this drawing in honor of all dogs in wheelchairs and was inspired by Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog who she shared with me continues to inspire her. And yes, I wiped a tear from my eye when she told me this.

I love how the dog is seeing her reflection in the water as if to say, “yes, I am beautiful and strong, even though I may be in a wheelchair. But I am still me.” What a great lesson for all of us!

Money raised will benefit The Frankie Wheelchair Fund (helping paralyzed dogs in need of a wheelchair) in honor of the 3rd annual celebration and day of observance of National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day this Monday, September 22.
