12-year-old boy builds Lego wheelchair for dog born without legs

Gracie is a puppy who due to a birth defect was born without her front legs. She was immediately dumped by her owners but before eventually ending up in a vets office. At the time, the little puppy had lost patches of hair and had maggots crawling on her but she did not lose her will to live. Gracie was slowly nursed back to health and her life turned around completely when she was adopted by a loving family who instantly fell in love with the puppy even despite her disability.

The puppy was adopted by the Turney family that also happens to run an animal shelter. They had already adopted one paralyzed dog before and had experience in taking care of a disabled pet.

Naturally, Gracie had trouble walking but was too small for a wheelchair so the family had to come up with some sort of a solution.

That’s where 12-year-old Dylan came to help – the boy used LEGO bricks to make a wheelchair for Gracie.

A LEGO wheelchair was perfect for the rapidly growing puppy – it was cheap and easy to adjust.

With a little trial and error, Gracie got the hang of the wheelchair.

Soon enough she was running around like any little puppy her age!

Eventually, as Gracie got bigger, Dylan added bigger wheels to the wheelchair.

The puppy got an “adult” wheelchair as she got older.

Gracie’s story proves that any puppy can live a happy and fulfilling life with the help of caring and loving owners.

After being saved, these two stray puppies won’t stop cuddling up to one another.

These Two Stray Puppies Were Just Rescued, And They Refuse To Stop Hugging Each Other

 You might call it puppy love, but these two lovely friends can’t seem to keep their paws apart.

A pair of inseparable stray puppies have been melting hearts on social media after being supposedly adopted by Buddhist nuns in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The bigger pup is shown protecting a shrine within the temple as his buddy is held in his paws.

Another image depicts the dog in a Zen position next to a Buddhist statue, hinting that he is studying meditation with the masters.

The doggie pair was apparently taken in by the temple after being abandoned on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and given a fresh lease on life.

In reaction to the folks, hundreds of comments gushing over the canine friends swamped social networking site Weibo.

‘Because the dogs are now in the temple, they must sit in meditation like the nuns,’ one user said.

Others scolded the puppies’ prior owners for abandoning them.

‘I’m not sure how people can be so harsh. They shouldn’t have acquired the dogs in the first place if they couldn’t care for them!’

However, contrary social media chatter has called the dogs’ suffering into question.

A monk from Bao Hoa Son Temple in Khanh Hoa Province, according to one Twitter source, saved them.

“Those puppies were born at that temple in Vietnam, and the nuns taught them to stand and hug each other,” said Mira Eleonora Pantazopol Lordanescu, a linguist at Bucharest’s Faculty of Linguistics, painting a much bleaker picture.

“There is no happy ending… the little black one died because they don’t have any type of veterinarian treatment there for the animals they have,” Lordanescu, who uses her Facebook account to uncover alleged animal scams, maintained.
