Brave paralysed dog rescued from Syria earthquake gets new wheels and a new home

A paralysed stray dog, rescued from the aftermath of the earthquake in northern Syria, has been given a permanent home and set of life-changing wheels by his rescuers.

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)'s partner rescue organisation, House of Cats Ernesto, found the pup "lying in the mud at the side of a field" after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck on February 6.

The team named the abandoned animal Bobby, which is a local nickname for 'dog', and refused to leave him behind, taking him to their clinic for a warm bath, food and water.
