A California family is not giving up on an adorable dog with an unusual condition.
The 9-month-old golden retriever doesn’t have use of her front legs.
Her name is Rexi, like a T-Rex.
“She can stand up and use her back legs fully, and then she scoots around on her chest kind of like a snail,” her owner James Cassidy told ABC News.

“They all did X-rays and whatnot, and the results always showed her bones were fine,” Cassidy said. “A lot of the veterinarians said it could be neurological. And, some of them just recommended that we amputate her front legs or put her down.”
About a month ago, the couple started a GoFundMe account for Rexi.
So far, they’ve raised more than $15,500 for her medical care.
Cassidy and Woertink are now working with Kolman Prosthetics to create a cart and body suit, so the happy pooch can run with comfort.

Beautiful poor pooch.
Backward legs made me think of this film at first:

Now that they raised the funs, perhaps they could find a surgeon willing and able to fix the dog’s legs ?
They will probably be calling this animal hospital soon:
They have done wonders with dogs I know pesonally.
Huh. Ron Silver is in that movie. He’s a conservative, and (I think) is a FReeper.
Pikers.
Americans have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to help out a political candidate with her head scrwed on backwards.
You hammered it Jack.
