Shorty Stories: A Story about a Dog and Her Famous Wheels
Reviews: 5 | Posted: 1 year ago | Avg Rating: 4.8

Supporting Shelter: Washington Area Humane Society

Supporting Rescue: Going Home Greyhounds

Pros: only $9.00

Cons: isn't part of a series

When Shorty (the dog) injures her spine, paralyzing her back legs, the veterinarian says that the dog will never be able to walk again. When they find a wheelchair for her, Shorty has to learn to move around in a whole new way, and she and her friends are happy to soon find that Shorty’s disability does not need to slow her down.

I gave this to my four year old nephew. One of our dogs is having some hip problems & I thought it would be a good way to introduce my nephew to the idea of wheelchairs.

The book is available on Amazon.com.
