A disability made, just getting around pretty difficult for this talk, and even some vets thought it would be best to put the dog down but as our Bill Anderson reports it is amazing what love, and new wheels, can do. Reporter i first met mika a year ago as a puppy. We dressed her up for christmas for you. Reporter we were trying to help her find a forever home but her disability was a serious challenge. Good girl. Reporter because of the brain deficiency she could not walk more than a few steps, and some, even some experts, thought it would be best if she was euthanized. Shes a happy girl. Reporter one year later and a lot has change. So, you refused to accept she was a lost cause. They found her a loving, home, and raised money for her care and today mika is getting her wheels.

Shes walking. The shes house broken. And shes just loving life. Reporter mikas story could have been very different as much of a story of her tenacity it is a story of a Animal Rescue community at her best. As long as she was loved, someone loved her, that was enough for her. We are all just working together for a dog. Reporter good group of people that refused to accept the result. Absolutely. Reporter back to her wheels, as a result of the fund raising, mika is getting a set of wheels to help her get around and to be more independent. Because shes still stalls a lot there is concerns about her hurting herself wheels should help. She does well on grass and carpeting but we want her to have a full life to be able to get out, go places and see people and with the wheels she can be on conn crease and any surface and be able to move herself and not be carried. Reporter First Experience with the wheels were tough on mika for a pup that i spent a year learning to compensate for her disability everyone expected them to be a initial setback and they were.

They have patients and love to continue to support her as she does. Shelter, rescue, animal lovers coming together to help this very special girl.
