Toby was hit by a car. He can't walk on four feet--just two. The mostly paralized back legs are held up by a... homemade device designed and built just for Toby. He's always enthusiastic to see me. The only dogs happier than Toby are puppies. And he LOVES the cookies he knows are hidden in one of my pockets. Toby has a small throbbing red tube - but you can't see it in this video!

  • Hi i am planning on building one of these for my old dog Sky, but am concerned about 2 things... Their toiletry needs! Sky is a bitch and so squating is her way of going to the loo, how do they cope with or without squating??

  • @meyarz Being able to squat or not won't matter at some point. Eventually a dog has got to go--and will. You will have a tad more work keeping your dog clean. Toby's owners didn't care that they had more work to do because of his paralysis. He was always a great dog. Always happy. Always enthusiastic. Always wildly happy to see me and get a cookie.

  • Toby does all the things other dogs do except for those things that require back legs. All his bodily functions perform normally.

  • I don't know much about Toby's history with the wheelchair. A year or so ago he moved to Utah.

    Cassady, my incredibly loved dog, died, at 18 years of age, on April 13, 2010. I will miss her forever.

  • my dog is just like that but he dont have a wheel chair everytime i see my dog i cry becuase he'll never be the same. we might have to put him down though. glad this dog doesnt have to have the same fate. your so lucky that your dog is able to move around.

  • That wheelchair is homemade. A dog wheelchair company offered me a free chair for Toby. But he moved away and I've not been able to find his owner. Maybe they would give the wheelchair to your do?

    i am so sorry for you yet i know how you feel. my family had to put my dog jake down at age of 14. let them live forever in thier own world. my dog jake, the one who was put down, is now living happilly with my old cat, Sarah in his own little world of tlc! god bless thier little hearts!

  • what does his small throbbing red tube have to do with any of this???

    

  • My Girlfriend use a wheelchair. This video really move me. Just because have a paralysis or a disability there is need to euthanasia. Today, Doctors are giving the option of abortion if the Scan shows any Disability. Not good.
