She runs like the wind
This is the story of an injured dog and people who cares about animals.
Lucy, a cute black dog with a bright blue tongue, was born in Puerto Rico. She was hit by a car and left by the side of the road to die, and luckily spoted and rescued by the Second Chance Animal Rescue and, after almost giving up hope, by a woman in Peterborough, NH. In October 2008 she was named “HandicappedPets.com Official Mascot” and given a new Walkin’ Wheels(http://www.walkinwheels.com/) dog wheelchair.
Lucy recovered at the Second Chance Animal Rescue where they found her an old, used dog wheelchair which was flown in from the U.S. She was so fast in the chair that they had to order replacement parts to keep it together.
Lucy spent several months up on Pet Adopttion websites and was ready to give up and then one day Courtney sent an
email asking about her.
At last Lucy found her match, through coordinated efforts with Wynn Dog Rescue in Jaffrey, NH. She was flown on a cargo plane, met by the Wynn Dog Rescue team, and placed in caring hands.
This is a real success story the way for human and pet. Lucy arrived with her wheelchair sent from Puerto Rico. She is so fast in it, it’s truly a joy to watch her go.
Lucy and Courtney are now treated as local celebrities. She has dog friends and an extended human family. Lucy has a very full, active life. She walks/runs with Courtney all the time around Peterborough, NH.
