Two-legged dog in Israel aided by wheels
When Avi Kozi, chairman of the Society for the Protection of Animals in Israel, adopted a dog born without its front legs, he hoped the dog might learn to walk on his hind legs, as did Faith, a two-legged in the United States.
When he didn’t, Kozi arranged for Hoppa to get a set of wheels, built by a student.
“From the moment I took him to my house, I knew I had to build something that would help him to move,” Kozi told Channel 10 at his home in Tel Aviv on Thursday.
Hoppa lives with six other dogs – all of them were taken in by Kozi after they’d been severely injured. Hoppa was born four years ago, and vets said only way to prevent him from suffering would be to put him to sleep.
