Canadian Meagan Penman was on the trip of a lifetime to Thailand when she discovered a paralyzed dog that was struggling to crawl across the beach. Penman quickly noticed that nobody was helping the dog and it was incredibly malnourished.
She attempted to find a rescue or family who would be willing to help the poor animal but nobody came forward. Realizing the puppy would die right there in the sand, she took her efforts further.
Meagan Penman went on vacation to Thailand.
She found this dog and paid for X-Rays which showed that his spine was broken.
She promised herself she would bring him back to Canada.
She used social media to raise the $2,000 necessary to fly the dog home with her.
It took two months to rescue Leo and he was excited to head off to a new home.
Even after a long flight he was a happy boy.
Meagan travels for her job and couldn’t keep Leo. Instead, she took to social media and found him a very nice foster home.
His vet bills were huge and a pet mobility rehab center called K9 Carts, built him his very own doggy wheelchair.
He has adapted very well to his knew living situation.
Because of urinary tract issues which led to quite a few operations, he has to wear diapers for the time being.
He’s just like a human baby!
Leo would have been dead in a few weeks if not for this amazing young lady.
In a bit of good news — Leo is already showing signs of movement in his legs.
