This disabled chihuahua uses toy parts to wheel around
Meet “Turbo” the chihuahua. He’s your new favorite dog.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This tiny chihuahua in Indianapolis has gained a new lease on life thanks to the help of a small sling and some toy parts. Turbo’s legs didn’t develop after birth and he struggled to get food around his more mobile brothers and sisters, but a veterinary hospital wasn’t willing to give up on the little guy, dismantling a Fisher Price helicopter so he could wheel around.
When he reaches six months old it will be possible for Turbo to be fit to a proper dog cart to continue his life, but for now he’s simply the most awesome dog ever. Staff of the veterinary hospital say he’s just as rowdy as any other chihuahua, so it seems like he’s adapting pretty well.
Here are some more photos of early prototypes.
