Nike's tough tale of healing and toys




This is what Catherine wrote to us about her dog Nike:
Nike is three. Last year he suffered a ruptured disk and had surgery on four disks. After the surgery he was paralyzed from the waist down for several months. He loves to snort and sniff in the grass and on the beach. Over the winter, while he was paralyzed, he wasn't able to go outside much, because it was too slippery. We walked him with a sling under his back legs (like having a leash for both ends). He is now one hundred percent recovered, thanks to Dr. Marta Agrodnia of the Maine Verterinary Referral Center in Scarborough. Nike's best friend is an orange tabby named Lucy-boy, who accompanies him on many walks around the point.

I have posted a few of his friends, which we will return at the end of the show. Thanks for sharing your friends and your wonderful story. You are a hero!
