We can’t wait to see who the wiener is of this year’s Wiener Dog Race.
Remember last year, when we Sponsored ‘Waldo,’ the differently-abled Wiener dog with a wheelchair? That was Waldo’s first race, and his first loss (he came in dead last!).
Here’s what his Human, Dr. Yael Kantor said about his condition:
He came to me as a patient in 2003. He was just a couple months old. The vet brought him in – he had been injured either by being dropped or stood on. The result was a spinal cord injury. He was paralyzed from the mid-back down and could not go to the bathroom by himself so he was probably on his way to being euthanized.
Well, we fell in love with him. I adjusted him and got some sensation back in his tail which he ended up chewing and the vet had to dock.it. But after a slew of adjustments, acupuncture, hydrotherapy we did not get the movement back in his legs but we did get him a little wheelchair.
He is a trooper and full of spunk. He lives with two other bigger dogs and is incredible with the kids. He hops around the house and has developed a large chest and big front paws. He is just full of life and you would never know he is disabled. He is amazing and adds so much to our lives.
