Upon learning of Winnie’s plight, Stephanie was firmly committed to providing her care and assisting her in her miraculous recovery.
Upon bringing Winnie home, the first thing Stephanie did was give her a relaxing shower. Despite the apparent immobility of her severely injured legs, Stephanie’s determination remained unwavering.
At first, Stephanie tried using a harness to lift Winnie, hoping to encourage her to walk, but it didn’t work. That’s when Stephanie turned to the water. To her immense joy, the moment she placed Winnie in the water, the puppy’s paws began to move! From that moment on, Winnie diligently practiced walking in water.
As time passed, Winnie’s legs grew stronger. Stephanie and her husband recognized the need for a custom stroller with wheels to support her mobility. They expected the stroller to help her up, but Winnie surprised everyone by taking her first hesitant steps on her own. This was a moment of pure delight, not only for Stephanie and her husband but also for Winnie – a beautiful testament to the resilience of life.
Taking into account her condition, veterinarians had estimated that it would take Winnie three months to walk again. Once again, Winnie exceeded all expectations by walking unassisted in just a few weeks.
“We were filled with excitement, hope, and immense pride,” Stephanie shared. “If she doesn’t want you to catch her, you can’t catch her.”
