Inspirational Rescue Dogs with Disabilities Spread Pure Joy at the Beach
Few things are better than seeing a group of cheerful dogs playing together on a beach. Their pure joy, innocence, and appreciation for all life has to offer are always displayed. Even animals with significant disabilities share this mindset. And these delightful dogs have a zest for life, which can inspire us all.
Watch how prosthetics and wheelchairs help these disabled pups enjoy the surf in this video shared on August 25:
What happy hounds! I love how this Unstoppable (@theunstoppabledogs) pack stays together and celebrates each step on the sandy beach. They are a testament to the outstanding care they receive and their appreciation for having a second chance. Although they may all have their challenges, they don't let those prevent them from having the very best time. Dogs never seem to worry about what they may lack, as they always know how to make the best of everything they have. While many may have lost the use of their back legs, they put the wheels on their chairs to good use, running up and down the shoreline. Even the charming three-legged pup, wearing a prosthetic limb, splashed joyfully in the water and had no trouble keeping up with his pals. These spirited dogs remind us that even though we may have limitations, they shouldn't stop us from living life to the fullest.

Can Dogs in Wheelchairs Live Normal Lives?
The answer is a resounding yes. Wheelchair-dependent dogs can do most things their fully mobile counterparts can, except go up stairs or travel over rough terrain without help. Some dogs adjust quickly to using a cart, while others may take a few weeks or months to get used to it. However, with the proper fitting and encouragement, most dogs will gain confidence in their new mobility. According to Best Friends, dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis, neurological issues, amputations, and spinal problems can live happily with the help of these devices.
