This unusual group of dogs show they haven’t let their disabilities get in the way of having fun as they play fetch in this inspiring video.

Dogs with damaged hind legs who have been given ‘wheelcarts’ happily run after sticks thrown by their owner Gritta Goetz.

Mrs Goetz, from Germany, explained in the comments that, though the pack leader normally gets the stick, the disabled dogs are more than able to keep up with their able-bodied friends in a competitive game of fetch.

‘They are fast enough to get it,’ she wrote.


‘And the smallest paralysed dog is the one who can protect the stick against everybody.



‘If she gets it, even the leader has no chance anymore.’

And Mrs Goetzsaid she has considered changing the wheels for skis when it snows.

‘We are thinking about it,’ she wrote.

‘But unfortunately there is no way at the moment.

‘On the other hand our wheelcart dogs enjoy running in the snow.’
