Frankie, are you the same as other dogs or are you different in some ways?
Question submitted by Olivia, Grade 3 from Wisconsin
Wow, Olivia this is a great question. Just like people, dogs are all different too, but we are also the same in many ways. I am like many dogs in that I like to bark, eat my kibble, run and play and take naps. The way in which I am different is that I need the help of my doggie wheelchair to get around. But I am the same me just like I was before I hurt my legs. Nothing has changed about me except I just need the help of my wheels to help me walk. That's all.
Just like some people need a wheelchair to help them so that makes them different. Everyone is different just like dogs. Some people have blonde hair, some have brown. Some dogs have red hair, while some have brown. Some have blue eyes, some green or brown. Some people are short or tall and some dogs are tall or short like me!
Hope that answers your question, Olivia! Thanks for such a great one.
