Injured Scrappy has a wheel zest for life
stairs, his quality of life was restored.
Amy said: “His wheels have changed his life. He still gets out every day and flies everywhere.
“We have to take them off in the house because he crashes into the doors. Sometimes he’s so quick, you can’t grab him!”
Amy describes Scrappy as a “happy, joyful and playful dog”.
“He is a big sweetheart but can also be a really grumpy old man.
“Sometimes, I could just look at him and he’ll growl – it makes me laugh!”
Speaking of her personal experience owning a disabled dog, Amy said: “It was hard adjusting at first but because Scrappy is so little, we can pick him up and carry him around everywhere.”
As Scrappy has no feeling from the waist down, he is incontinent and Amy and Jon have to help him express his bladder.
“It’s like having a baby,” Amy said. “He gets so anxious about it, which makes me sad.
Despite all of the challenges, Scrappy lives his life to the fullest.
“He is happiest when he’s scooting around in the garden or running on Crosby Beach,” Amy said.
