It seemed the right family would never come along — until finally, a couple saw a Facebook post about Bandit, and knew they could give him the love and care he needed. As soon as Darrell and Sue Rider learned about Bandit, they were hooked. They weren’t scared of Bandit’s special needs at all — because Darrell happens to be in a wheelchair, too....

Bandit the wheelchair dog persevered, and never let rejection get him down. He just kept trying and on the 5th try, it looks like he's found a forever home. And it looks like he's getting a facebook page.

“It is said that dogs domesticated humans. And not the other way around”

A labored effort still in progress...

Nice story.

Dogs take really well to wheelchairs, cats not so much...Had a paralyzed cat that needed lots of similar attention but she just could not stand her custom made wheelchair.

I certainly wish the BEST to this family!

Heh

Still have one of my Mom’s dogs (RIP to her and my Dad).

He is a daily inspiration and brings me joy without fail.
