GUELPH A woman from Guelph with three senior dogs and one in a wheelchair is hoping to spread the message that all canines deserve a home. Molly, a 12-year-old dachshund, uses a very special set of wheels to get around ever since losing the use of her back legs six years ago. This was due to a common condition in the breed called intervertebral disc disease. “She was fitted with a wheelcart and she’s been wheeling around ever since,” said Dr. Tiffany Durzi, a veterinarian at the Ontario Veterinary College. Through Molly’s medical journey, her owner Susan Freeman has become an advocate for senior and special needs dogs.
