Back harness has changed life for us dramatically!

My special family member is a 12 year old terry poo named Oliver. I was taking my boy out and suddenly he could no longer walk on his back legs.  I took him to the vet and was told he would have no quality of life since he couldn't walk because his legs were paralyzed from a disc problem. 

He gave me prednisone and sent me home with the thought that if the pills didn't work, we would have to put him down. 


I was carrying  him out and he would pull himself around with his front legs which worried me as winter was coming and I couldn't see him going out and dragging himself around in knee high snow.  It broke my heart.  He was still the same humourous, playful little boy as he was before this happened and I wanted to do anything in my power to prove the vet wrong.

I went on the internet and discovered your website.  What a Godsend. 

Where I live there is no place that sells anything that could have helped him.  I ordered the back harness and life for us changed dramatically. 

I could take him out and he could do his business without any problems.  He also could exercise his back legs and has, I believe with the enormous help of the harness, about 95% of his mobility back.  I believe that when spring and summer comes, he will be able to go without the harness altogether, although I will still have to carry him up stairs as his one leg is weaker than the other and he can't jump up the stairs.  He still has his bad days though, because there is a touch of arthritis in his back and because of his age,  but with the harness he can walk out side with security and confidence. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart that my little boy has done so well with the aid of his harness and will, God willing, have a few more years with us. People have stopped me and inquired about the harness as they haven't seen anything like it.  One lady said that she had put her dog down because the vet had told her the same thing as me. 

She wishes now that things like the harness had been around for her pet.  I have passed along your website to several people.  I guess people are getting a bit tired of me as I can't say enough about your site and the back harness but, if one person remembers the site when something happens to their little loved one it is worth it. The vet is also very impressed by his progress and wanted to know more about your site. Thank you, thank you and thank you again. God bless you. Sandra W.and Oliver
