Paralyzed Dog - 1st steps in HandicappedPets.com Wheelchair

Nico's first steps in a HandicappedPets.com Dog Wheelchair.
Marvin, a rescued Lab from R.I. donates wheelchair to Nico, a paralyzed Boxer in Revere, MA. Nico, a paraplegic after a stroke takes his first steps in over a year.

HandicappedPets.com and Marvin, a beautiful and happy 8 year old black lab, and his owner, Dr. EJ Finnochio from the RISPCA donate a cart to Nico, a happy 12 year old Boxer who still tries to chase the
neighborhood dogs and cats, even though he has paraplegia in his rear legs.

He suffered a spinal cord stroke, (F.C.E.) one year ago, and has been undergoing physical therapy for 2 months.

Nico's physical therapist, Ann Beth Chinchillo, PT,CCRP (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Provider), from Revere, MA was one of over 50 applicants to receive a 2nd cart donated by Marvin with the help of HandicappedPets.com.

Marvin discovered HandicappedPets.com when Kathy Barton and her 4th grade class from Velma, OK donated a cart to Xavier, a cat who was also rescued from the RISPCA. The cart will be delivered to Nico early in August.
