DETROIT – Last month Detroit Animal Care and Control got a call about a puppy that was wedged underneath a car.
They thought the dog may never walk again, but now they’re optimistic about the puppy making a full recovery because it has a new set of wheels.
The puppy is named Nibbles. She was rescued from under a car tire in December.
“She was unable to use her back legs and she was in quite a bit of pain,” Dr. Patricia Bigwood said.
