Spearheaded by our mascot, Harper; HOPE Dog Rescue held Singapore's very first dog walk for doggies on wheelchairs, on 17 December and what an amazing walk it was!
The doggies were really excited to meet fellow doggies on wheelchairs as it is not common that they get to meet their kind ❤️. They were, perhaps, exchanging facts about their wheelchairs!
The walk was attended by 5 doggies in wheelchairs and 17 normal doggies who had signed up to walk with these special doggies to show their support. We were touched!
The wheelchair doggies were:
1) Harper, born with a broken spine
2) Lucky, intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
3) Jackie, traffic accident and owner didn't want her after her after the accident and a kind lady adopted Jackie.
4) Stephen - thrown out of a moving car in Shanghai and a family fostered him, adopted and brought to SG.
5) Suzu - senior dog
6) Chocolate - senior dog who inherited Jasper's wheelchair
7) Whisky - luxating patella and spinal issues
Harper thanks everyone for coming down to support her in this inaugural walk and making it a huge success.
