Harlso the Balancing Hound fighting back from paralysis for second time

Harlso, a Dachshund, who has 1.4million likes on Instagram and half a million social media fans, collapsed last week after suffering a herniated disc leaving his back legs powerless. He has undergone surgery and is now starting a lengthy rehab process in the hope of walking unaided again.
