Ok... now I know you're not the owner but I want you to show the owner this post!

My baby boy Bailey is a shih tzu. He just turned 6 years old and I have had him for over 2 1/2 years. I adopted Bailey from another family when he was 4. I adopted him almost a year after his accident.
When Bailey was 3, he jumped off of a twin bed and had a herniated disk. He had surgery but it was unsuccesful. His family at the time had to express his bowls and bladder for 3 months. After that he was able to do it on his own but still had no feeling from the waist down. He was capable of urinating and defacting by himself but he couldn't control when he went so they continued to use diapers on him. From that point on he dragged his stomach and back legs but continued to be a happy little boy.
Almost a year later, I adopted him because the family wasn't able to care for him anymore due to their child being sick. The day that I got Bailey he ran out of their house wagging his tail and came straight to me. His owner at the time started bawling because she said their vet had said if Bailey didnt make any improvement in a year that he never would.
Boy were those vets wrong!!!!!
Since I got Bailey he has stopped dragging his stomach and only drags his hind legs from the knees down now. He has full use of his tail. He still doesnt have control over his bowls or bladder but that's no big deal at all. I just change his diaper! He has started standing on his back legs for a couple seconds etc. He can climb up and down stairs, can climb out of the bath tub, loves to run and play... he is such a joy to me!
AND HIS QUALITY OF LIFE IS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE!
He knows he's special and he is even using his GIFT to help others. Bailey is a therapy dog now and goes out in his wheelchair (which we made) and helps encourage children and disabled people to live to their full potential!
There's no such thing as a disability.
If there is, then we ALL have them.
Don't put Ezra down! Love him enough to let him live and see what life has to offer! Yes it will be hard, but you have no idea how much you'll recieve in return!
Just look at my signature... that's my baby and I wouldnt have him any other way....

P.S. I dont mean this to sound mean or anything... it is just something i feel strongly about because i've been there and i wouldnt trade my little boy for anything
