Man Takes His Paralyzed Dog For A Stroll In A Wagon Every Day, Says She'd Do The Same For Him

Knowing that a dog can't run or play because they're paralyzed is absolutely heartbreaking. But, as one recent Facebook post that went viral shows, the love of a good human can go a long way in giving them a happy life. On Dec. 20, Facebook user Bryan Thompson posted photos of a "guy with an awesome heart" he saw taking his paralyzed dog out for a walk in a wagon.

Thompson was intrigued and after snapping a few photos he decided satisfy his curiosity and approach the man. What he then learned was both beautiful and sad. The man told Thompson that his pup had ALS. Canine ALS, or degenerative myelopathy, is a slowly progressive spinal cord disorder that eventually leaves the afflicted dog paralyzed in the back legs.
