Oh Holly! You are such a strong willed inspirational pooch! I would love to hug your furry neck. :) And to Holly's mom- awesome wheelchair design, you are a good Pyre parent!
The true cruelty would be to force her walk without the aid of the cart which would be exhausting. Try hopping on one leg for a three mile walk. Not only would your joints suffer from the impact, you'd be out of breath. The same goes for any dog that has had a recent amputation. And let's not forget that this dog has recovered from a type of cancer. The cart is the best, kindest and most humane option. Think hard about the implications of your remarks before you submit them.
Why do you have it attached to a cart when tripod dogs do so much better just walking around on 3 legs? Dogs are very adaptable and do extremely well adjusting. You can see that it has some difficulty dragging that contraption around.
I'd say get rid of the cart and let it adapt, but you've had it stuck in that contraption for so long, it may not do as well.
@ChristianBackpackers - First of all - it's not a contraption - it's a custom built mobility cart designed and manufactured in our own machine. Our carts are the Rolls Royce of animal wheelchairs. Second, if we amputate one of your legs, wouldn't you expect a crutch - or would we just let you adapt to hopping on one leg.
Holly is strong and healthy because of the 3-4 miles a day she can walk with the aid of her cart.

@ChristianBackpackers Keep in mind, the Great Pyrenese is a big heavy dog. It's carrying around a lot of weight and likely needs the mobility cart for the transition period. Bless Holly's family for going through the extra effort and helping her through her disease!!! Many people would have just put her down. She's lovely.
