I'm in doggy paddle therapy: How hydrotherapy saved Pepper the disabled dachshund

Excerpt

When Pepper the dachshund lost the use of her legs she was nearly sent to the great kennel in the sky.

But her owner Joy Bloyce knew there was life in the old dog yet.

Instead of following the vet's advice and having Pepper put down, she put her in hydrotherapy instead.

It took five months of twice-weekly £20 sessions - and a lot of dog paddling - but finally she is able to trot about again.

I love stories like this. It's nice to hear how the dogs recover and it's so much fun for the dog too.
