NBC 30 Connecticut News reported an inspirational story about a Miniature Dachshund working with stroke victims in the Ormond Beach, FL area.
Hans, a 9-year old Miniature Dachshund suffered a spinal injury. Unlike Odie, who recovered from his spinal injury, Hans was left paralyzed and has his hind quarters mounted to a wheelchair.
This gives Hans the mobility to travel around the Ormond Beach rehabilitation center giving hope and inspiration to stroke victims.
If your Dachshund ever had a spinal injury, there’s always hope and inspiration in whatever the outcome. Have faith. Let Hans and Odie inspire your little Dashund.

I enjoy your blog. The wheelchair dachshund is quite inspiring. I was going to use it on my blog, but it is more appropriate on yours.
Hi,
My little Bandit, who is 4 years old has recently become paralyzed. I am looking for the perfect wheelchair for a 16lb dachshund. Please, if anyone could help, I would appreciate it. Your comment about having faith really helped me because I have really had a hard time with this. Thank you so much.

Kristy, I’m sorry to hear about Bandit. I know exactly how you feel. There are several places you can get a wheelchair. I would try http://www.doggon.net/ or you can try to build one: Dachshund Wheel Chair
