Subaru describes the challenge that dogs with special needs face when it comes to adoption. The older, physically challenged, and those with conditions such as blindness are often the last dogs to be picked for adoption from shelters

My dog loves their commercials it really gets him going it’s so funny
Best commercial I have seen in ages. I rewind it just to watch it again. Kudos to the advertising agency and car manufacturer. Dogs are GREAT !!
Subaru does lots of Dog ads, Dogs driving cars and letting their dog out for obedience school. Nothing about the car, but heck advertising and sales sure have changed. Look at Biden, no long press conferences, campaigns from his basement, and he gets 81 million votes.
In the old days you would sell the product, now you sell feelings.
Dogs, especially disabled ones, always pull at the heartstrings. They are magnificent creatures, not a Democrat among them.
If I could afford it, I’d get a Subaru just because of their dog commercials.
Come next Tuesday, my boy will return home as a Tripawd.
We fought long and hard to save his leg but it was not meant to be.
Prayers for an easy, safe surgery greatly appreciated.
I pray they get it all.
Love this commercial!
Always turn off or don’t watch ASPCA commercials showing abused animals.
I cry for the animals and want to kill the abusers.

Prayers for your boy. Dogs are amazingly adaptive, just let him know every day he is loved and he will be good to go.
It’s osteosarcoma so I don’t know how long the future will be.
He had stereotactic radiation to “kill” the primary tumor in his hock and 6 rounds of chemo plus Zometa infusions.
However, it’s now a question of the micro-tumors that may show up elsewhere...or I pray to God, not.
His lungs are still clear of metastases which is great, but he has a pathological fracture now.
The leg bone is too fragile to do anything like braces and it will never heal like a non-cancerous broken bone would.
Sadly, he still uses the leg and it’s becoming iffier by the day and I am going to have to take away his leg to keep him from falling when it fails to hold him up, like he expects it to.
He forgets that his leg is weak and still storms around like he used to and now I have no other options.
This is the worst, hardest choice I’ve ever had to make in my life.
I have begged, borrowed and sold, yet still failed to save his leg.
:(
They seem to run St Jude and ASPCA commercials back to back, here and I wind up going upstairs and crying, so i don’t upset the dog.
Bless the beasts and the children.
Thank you and he definitely knows he is loved, truly, madly, deeply.
Democrats should just run a dog in a suit next time. Probably would get 100 million votes.
“We fought long and hard to save his leg but it was not meant to be.”
Well, don’t worry too much. Every three legged dog I’ve ever seen hasn’t seemed the least bit bothered by it, and they all romp around just like normal dogs.
Sure hope so.
He weighs 23 pounds more than I do so the “help him up” part is going to pretty rough on me until he finds his balance.
You've probably done the research, but maybe there are more trials like these:

New treatments are appearing all the time.
Get a long enough lever and a fulcrum, and you can move anything :)
My dog has the doggy equivalent of a torn ACL so can only walk on three legs until his scheduled surgery.
We got him pain meds in the meantime and he feels great—now he wants to sprint on three legs.
They figure it out quick...
You may want to check into fenbendazole(aka Panacur C dog wormer and other brands of it) which has been found to be useful against cancer. Using it and possibly milk thistle(for liver support) along with blood testing to be sure.

You may end up having to have the leg removed and use the dog buggies(strap in and they use their front legs to go!).
Prayers for your both.
PS:
We had(have) a very old poodle who became unable to walk, wouldn’t eat, etc. After many vet attempts to “fix” him, we put him on raw meat and 2 supplements(All-In-One multivitamin and No-Scoot....both by Nutravet IIRC). 6 months later, he was normal and running around like a puppy! Still does, acts young in-spite of having one cateract’ed eye due to age.
