Thank goodness that Hank the Yellow Labrador Retriever is okay.
You never know when an everyday task can result in tragedy. In Hank’s case, it was something as simple as jumping up into the car to go for a ride. His owners believe that while jumping up into the car, Hank twisted his spine. Some swelling of the spine set in, and within just a few hours, Hank was losing control of his hind legs and becoming a paralyzed dog. I can’t even imagine the feeling of terror and panic that his owners most likely felt. He was only 6 years old at the time. To see your dog go from happy and healthy to disabled right before your eyes must be a terrible feeling.
Hank’s chances of ever walking again were low, but you can see that he was starting to get his mobility back in the video below:
Hank and his owners have a great deal to be thankful for. In this additional clip taken just a few days later, you can see Hank take steps with even more confidence and control. Here’s wishing Hank a full recover and a healthy long life:
