A beloved dog who struggled to walk has been fitted with a set of wheels that his owner hopes will give him a new lease of life.
AJ Kurosaki, 34, from Wallasey, has had 11-year-old Bane since he was a puppy. AJ describes Bane as his "best friend" but the pair were dealt a blow when the staffie was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia.
The painful condition can drastically reduce a dog’s quality of life and can often cause deterioration in the joints which can be difficult for owners to watch. For Bane, while he's not yet entirely lost the ability to walk, he is wobbly, unstable and can no longer use stairs without his owner's aid.
