Scooter, the 2 Legged Dog Learns to Walk

As you know, we love dog stories. Hero dogs, rescue dogs, goofy dogs, we love them all. Which is probably why we were drawn to 12 week old Scooter, a Llahsa-Poodle mix, who was born without front legs, but that problem doesn't seem to be slowing him down at all.

From MyFoxAtlanta:

Scooter was born with a genetic defect, leaving him wit just two tiny stumps instead of front legs. He's not a candidate for prosthetics, so he's learning to walk on his two hind legs, and push himself using a custom made cart.

Braced inside an inflatable tube, Scooter is not learning to walk using just his two hind legs. A spoonful of peanut butter is an attractive lure as Scooter learns to walk, one step at a time.

When Scooter is fully grown he will need a permanent, larger cart. Pitty Paws Bully Rescue is hoping someone will step forward to make him one. If you'd like to help Scooter or the rescue visit: https://www.facebook.com/TheAdventuresOfScooter.
