At first Hope moved around by hopping but experts said that her natural mode of moving eventually would damage her bones and spine.
But aptly named puppy Hope's problem was no way going to hold her back. Her problem appears to be solved thanks to her incredible level of adorability, and a talented team of puppy professionals that includes a rehab therapist and an orthotist.
A custom prosthetic was made for Hope using a molded body piece attached to hinged model airplane wheels. The device allows her to turn, lie down, and propel herself forward easily using her hind legs.
Before the prosthetic Hope had to move around by hopping. Puppy healthcare experts were worried that this would soon damage her bones and internal organs. Hope's only concern now will be running/rolling away from her innumerable instant-fans.
