Sammi the Springer’s mom met with animal rehabilitation therapists at a California center. A therapy plan was designed to help Sammi regain the strength in his muscles so that he was able to support his own body and stand.

Over the course of time, Sammi proved himself a wagging warrior during therapy sessions. He learned to get up into a sitting position and use a canine wheelchair to run and play.

It gets better: Sammi’s therapists wanted him to be able to walk again!
