Wonky Dog on All Fours After Physiotherapy

A touching story of how sensitive people can be to the needs of animals, especially a disabled 11-week old dog, called wonky, who was unable to even walk due to the deformation in her front legs.

The pup was picked up the Leeds Dogs Trust after it was found roaming the streets of Bradford, apparently abandoned by the mother. Wonky, named due to the problem in her legs, was born with under-developed front legs. Physiotherapy really changed the life of this pup.
