A paraplegic dog has gone viral as she ditched her wheelchair to “run around like a T-Rex”. Footage of Dixie the mastiff showing off her skills is making waves on TikTok and Instagram where she has over 100,000 followers.
When Brittany Huyser, 34, first saw a picture of Dixie as a pup, there was an "instant connection". Paralysed in both her back legs since birth for unknown reasons, Dixie underwent surgery to remove them in October 2019.
Now aged five, she needs to wear a nappy as she incontinent, but is otherwise healthy. Brittany, who lives in North Carolina, USA, said adopting her was the most "meaningful" decision she's ever made.
