When Bertha the rabbit lost the ability to walk this past May, the vet wanted to give up on her. But her owner said no.

Bertha was just 4 years old when an injury made her lose the use of her back legs. But Melanie James, who's had Bertha since she was just a baby, knew that Bertha's story wasn't over yet.

"When the vet said the nicest thing to do would be to put her down, she still had so much life," James told South West News Service. "I've actually seen dogs in wheelchairs and I thought 'if it works for a dog, then why not a rabbit?'"
