INDORE: To save his dog from being put to sleep, Adarsh Sood and his family bought their 9-year-old Brownie wheels to support its paralyzed hind legs and help him walk.

Sood said that the labrador is more than a pet for their family. "While chasing a dog on the road, Brownie was hit by a bike due to which its backbone was broken, paralyzing his hind legs forever," narrated Sood.

The vet said Brownie would never be able to walk. "It broke our hearts as he is the most active and favorite member of our family. The doctor also told us that it would be difficult for the dog to carry himself, as he weighs 50kg. He suggested mercy killing ," Sood said adding his elder brother Sameer refused the option.

The family then searched online and saw wheelchair or wheel-supporters for dogs, which helps them walk. "We first tried making the wheelchair as we knew Brownie’s need, but later we purchased it from Delhi for Rs 10,000," said Sood.

Though it was not as easy to make Brownie walk on wheels, he underwent exercises suggested by doctor to reduce its weight, so that he can balance on wheels. "Now Brownie is healthy with his two legs and two wheels, and with them he can walk and run easily," said Sood.
