Tiny Chihuahua in a Wheelchair Spreads Love at a Nursing Home

Tiny Chihuahua

Ready for an adorable and inspirational dog story? This uplifting tale comes in a teeny tiny package – a little Chihuahua named BeeBee. BeeBee was born without any shoulder blades, which causes her front paws to stay contracted. She can’t straighten her legs so her only means of getting around is to hop and put a little weight on her front wrists.

BeeBee’s owner, Denise Steininger, got permission to bring this little bundle of energy to her job at a nursing home and the residents loved her! They would come to say hello and just wanted to snuggle with BeeBee. Then Denise spoke to someone whose son was at a tech school studying engineering. She suggested Denise speak with them, because perhaps there was something they could create for BeeBee.

The engineers at Bollman Tech made BeeBee the perfect mini wheelchair and now she runs around, down the halls of the nursing home. It’s clear this little pup has determination!(dog walking services nyc)

The best part of this story is seeing BeeBee in her wheelchair, which features a pink flag on the back like a little racecar.

Check it out! You won’t regret it.
