Calypso is a 7-year-old Doberman whose hind legs became paralyzed three months ago. Owners Blake and Andi Stewart don’t know what caused the paralysis, but they are determined to care for the handicapped dog, which Blake adopted as a puppy.

25+yrs. ago a friend’s dachshund developed paralysis in his rear legs. (apparently not uncommon in dachshunds)
I built a carriage similar to this one out of a toy baby carriage or something similar. Not nearly as bulky.
It worked great and after a period of time, I think a year or so , the dog regained use of his legs.
