Dog in wheelchair scales N.H. mountain [Video]




Pedal To The Metal? Indeed! A wheelchair won't stop one dogged canine from climbing Mount Washington in New Hampshire.


Quote from the article:

On Wednesday morning, Lucy, a 4-year-old mixed breed whose back legs were paralyzed after she was hit by a car as a pup, became the first disabled dog to scale the highest peak in the Northeastern United States.

“She just kept at it,’’ said Lucy’s owner, Courtney Dunning. “She was very determined. It blew my mind. I had no idea she had it in her.’’

Dunning, her boyfriend, and her Chihuahua-dachshund mix, Topper, accompanied Lucy on the 4,500-foot ascent.

A representative from the Nashua-based organization HandicappedPets.com and a filmmaker also climbed with them. HandicappedPets.com donated the wheelchair to Lucy two years ago.
