Last night, we watched The
Dog Rescuers on Channel 5, a
programme about dogs and their incredible stories. It is a heart-felt programme
that really open eyes to some of the poor conditions and circumstances dogs go
through.

We were particular touched by the incredible
story of Roo, a one year old whippet/border collie, with only her two back
legs. Found of the streets of Romania, the dog rescuers were uncertain whether
Roo had been born this way. Though, new life in England certainly has Roo’s
tail wagging!
It was highlighted that because of Roo’s youthful age, she
would adapt to having two legs. Her spine may see early arthritis and her back
legs are working hard to keep her upright. To alleviate this, several fundraisers
came together to provide Roo with the front support she needs; a unique, custom
built wheel system. It is thanks to these generous donations, Roo has this.

Roo will still need support from her adoptive family;
regular visits to the vet for check-ups and for advice on what is suitable for
Roo. Pet insurance means Roo’s
family will have financial support to help with the unique condition Roo has.
We wish Roo and her family the best of luck and are pleased
that with the help of pet
insurance, fundraisers and donations, Roo is able to live a happy, healthy
life in England.
