4 michelle 04.21.06 at 11:43 pm

I love wheelie doggies! Yay doggie!

5 punkpie 04.21.06 at 11:57 pm

*sigh* I know that seeing animals mobile with carts should be a happy thing, but whenever I see them, it breaks my heart just a little bit. In a good way.

6 maymee 04.22.06 at 12:01 am

Aaawwww now that pup is LOVED. Big time.

7 Stephanie 04.22.06 at 12:11 am

That dog doesn’t seem to care in the least bit about needing a cart. Good for him! An inspiration to us all. That is beyond cute!

8 Aubrey 04.22.06 at 12:12 am

That hound have a hemi?

And yes, seeing a wheelie doggie is sad, but in a triumphant way. Just look at the way he’s standing, face to the wind – ready to play!

9 Theo 04.22.06 at 12:12 am

OK, what about a hang-glider attachment?

10 Aubrey 04.22.06 at 12:32 am

Turbo-charged muscle-mutt!

No one better bump draft this dog!

11 Hammy 04.22.06 at 1:07 am

Born free, as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows…

12 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner! 04.22.06 at 1:09 am

Sweetness to the max!

13 RavishingRoberta 04.22.06 at 1:29 am

My Heart Just Melted For The Brave Doggie. Nothings Going To Stand In Fannies Way

14 little miao 04.22.06 at 1:54 am

What a beautiful and admirable dog!

15 Theo 04.22.06 at 1:57 am

I’m thinking rocket packs. Definitely rocket packs.

16 liv 04.22.06 at 2:10 am

ATD: All-Terrain-Doggie! Looks so happy!

17 Ponygirl 04.22.06 at 2:15 am

My dog woke up one day unable to walk. The vet couldn’t tell us why or what was the problem. For weeks I carried a 100 pound German Shepherd in and out to use the bathroom. I got her a wheelchair after a while. She was walking, got a little too much velocity going down a hill on Mt. Washington in Pittsburgh, PA. Fell-head over-heels, scaring the crap out of both of us. The very next day she was walking. Hatred for the chair had a healing effect. This lovely doggie seems much more well-adjusted.

18 k 04.22.06 at 2:39 am

Oh! So many levels of sweetness in this pic. :*)

19 Hammy 04.22.06 at 2:49 am

Ponygirl- That must have been awful! I mean, imagine, one day waking up, and not being able to walk, I feel sad for your dog, that experience must have been awful, I hope he never needs a wheelchair again!
-Hammy

20 Hammy 04.22.06 at 3:04 am

Wow. Am I the only one here? I mean, I comment, but I don’t see anyone else commenting, spooky.

21 deirdre 04.22.06 at 3:21 am

this is a GREAT shot–from flickr maybe? great dog, too.

22 ElfOwl 04.22.06 at 3:35 am

Ponygirl- I worked in a kennel for a couple of years in high school and early college. We boarded a beautiful white german shepherd mix who couldn’t get up or walk and had to be supported on his trips outdoors. It really was just heart-breaking. But he was the sweetest thing, and I loved him so much. He never nipped, though I was sometimes clumsy, and I know I hurt him, even though I tried so hard. I’m so glad your doggy got better!

23 Micke 04.22.06 at 3:50 am

Sooooooo beautiful!

24 Laurie 04.22.06 at 4:02 am

Ruh-roh. Watch out, dune-doggy, Theo wants to put you into orbit.

25 Michelle 04.22.06 at 4:42 am

Aww I love this photo. He looks like a surfer with that hair. :D

26 Homestar Runner 04.22.06 at 7:26 am

Super Dog Goes on Vacation :o ) Beautiful pic!

29 Ted French 04.22.06 at 2:00 pm

nice site Loved the Texas stuff

30 Theo 04.22.06 at 2:13 pm

Maybe tank treads and a gas-electric hybrid engine? That’d be cool.

31 Wombat 04.22.06 at 3:07 pm

…and a turret! With a freakin’ laser! And night-vision goggles!

32 Aly 04.22.06 at 3:41 pm

I love him! Check out those wheels, you guys. BadASS. I bets the ladies love him.

33 jaypo 04.22.06 at 4:03 pm

Theo, yr. nuts. Trying to blast the poor pooch right off the beach… Look at her face! She’s having the *bestest* time ever just standing still. What a sweet girl.

34 Carolyn J. 04.22.06 at 4:08 pm

Now THAT’s a Lowrider.

35 Theo 04.22.06 at 4:20 pm

Jaypo — *I* think she’s just testing the prevailing wind, waiting for the conditions to be right. Then she’ll deploy the parasail.

36 jaypo 04.22.06 at 4:26 pm

A parasail I could see…

37 Marria 04.22.06 at 4:33 pm

Go go Gadget-Doggy GO!

38 jaypo 04.22.06 at 4:39 pm

Homestar, Holly–he is a she, a li’l sistah. Fanny.

there I go being the nerdy, correcting English maj again.

39 cafegrrl 04.22.06 at 5:28 pm

That’s so inspirational! You know that doggie is so well loved. :-) Now all she needs are spinners for her slick wheels!

40 Carlisa 04.22.06 at 5:32 pm

Fanny got her name honestly—She runs on all natural gas. Doesn’t harm the environment, but whoooooa!…don’t stand behind her on take-off. Her next photo-shoot is in 15 minutes where you can get an autographed pic of her guarding the Alaskan pipelines—

41 PatP 04.22.06 at 6:00 pm

“Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
Well I’m older now and still
Against the wind”

42 BinkyBink 04.22.06 at 6:35 pm

heehee, PatP! I was thinking of the same song.

Those are some hot wheels doggy has! :D

43 ElfOwl 04.22.06 at 7:16 pm

Oh, but jaypo, Homestar and Holly are *quoting* so if they put “sistah” in, they’d have to do the brackety thing. :-P

I love the sbemails, but the Li’l Brudder bit made me cry. I’m such a sap :-P .

44 Tearanny 04.22.06 at 9:58 pm

Technology that leads to quality of life is true technology! *yay*
hip dysplasia is horrid, Im so glad to see this option… I had a GSD when I was a kid that my dad made a chair for, more of a wagon type thingie with a harness… She loved having her freedom back. *smile*
Good days!

45 Marie 04.22.06 at 10:12 pm

Are there words, really? ;D

Seeing the pure happiness of this maginificent creature and knowing the powerful love of the person taking the photo…Life is beautiful sometimes. I’m so moved.

46 Hammy 04.22.06 at 10:16 pm

I love the pic, I feel sad for it, but happy that it can get around too.:D

47 Drunkita TwoFlagons 04.23.06 at 12:17 am

This is the kind of photo I’d make a poster of, and hand out to folks who have lost their mobility. this is inspiration at its purest!

The sweater-wearing penguins were cute, but they got upstaged. I’m weeping with joy here. This is just too adorable and uplifting!

48 Denita Twodragons 04.23.06 at 12:19 am

Aack, still showing up as “Drunkita TwoFlagons. Sorry…

51 Regina 04.23.06 at 2:39 am

She’s not standing still, she’s going so fast her fur is flying!

She looks like a cuddly puppers…I hope she gets help up onto the bed when its time to go nitenite.

52 cosmiquemuffin 04.23.06 at 2:41 am

I honestly think dogs were placed on the earth to teach us deep courage, unconditional love, and unabashed joy in living.

I adore this dog and want to scrobble his ears.

53 Max 04.23.06 at 5:05 am

I feel so bad for that doggy!! =[

I hope his legs heal and he can walk again one day. :*)

54 Denise 04.23.06 at 4:37 pm

look deeper at the expression in its eyes and mouth….this doggie is definitely smiling. :^)

55 Ams 04.23.06 at 5:26 pm

56 Saighin 04.23.06 at 11:15 pm

71 JH 05.01.06 at 1:18 am

She’s so happy! She’s smiling!

*wipe away tear*

72 J. Bo 05.01.06 at 11:41 am

Hey, does anyone remember that episode of the Drew Carey Show when his girlfriend (who has many pets) move in with him, and her golden retriever, Speedy, is in a contraption like this? I just loved Drew’s line when the pup wheeled in: “Oh, look– a veteran!”

(Later, when the relationship didn’t work out, he asked if he could keep Speedy– which he did– and in a subsequent episode he put Speedy on his health insurance policy in order to get him the surgery he needed to be contraption-free.)

God, I watch too much TV…

73 Skot 05.05.06 at 10:45 pm

This is not funny..so all those tards that are laughing can skip! This is courageous. God Bless this Dog …

74 ♥'s G.D. & animals ☺ 05.07.06 at 10:57 pm

75 Desideratist 05.07.06 at 11:33 pm

I love the way it’s got real “off road” tyres as well… this dog is not going to be put off by rough terrain!

76 Darcy 05.08.06 at 11:05 pm

♥♥♥ to her

77 exploitation_spotter67 05.10.06 at 3:03 am

who knew that cuteoverload was basically an animal exploitation hotbed?

78 Nancy 05.11.06 at 2:55 am

Our Beagle, Barney, lost a back leg to cancer (but BEAT the cancer) 2 years ago. Now he’s 11 and having trouble with his remaining back leg (always had been his ‘bad leg’–wouldnt you know). This gives me such hope. He has the same spirit as Fanny, I can see that in the photo. Thanks, Fanny, from Barney’s Mommy!

79 bttrfy 05.16.06 at 4:35 pm

this is such a cute lil doggie! Is great tht he can still move around although he is ‘injured’ :) Love the doggie chair :)

80 mikki 06.03.06 at 4:29 am

81 Sammy-D 06.05.06 at 7:54 am

THAT DOG IS SUCH A SWEETIE!

82 Lani 06.08.06 at 1:54 pm

Most certainly cute!
This dog can experience the best of life in his cart. I’m sure it’s tiring to stay in for a lengthy time. Check out this fabulous website of a ranch for disabled animals.

Fabulous…I visit it everyday.

83 anne 06.08.06 at 7:43 pm

you are the most compassionate kindest human being to not have given up on this dog and the happiness in his eyes shows everyone that.

84 anne 06.08.06 at 7:43 pm
