Partially Paralyzed Dachshund Enjoys His Stroller Walk
Monty the dachshund lost the use of his hind legs, but his mama makes sure he still gets to enjoy the great outdoors — from his very own stroller. Zoey is a huge fan of Monty and knows firsthand how hard the road back from paralysis can be. Watch the video and try not to smile.

Monty rides in style: Monty is a partially paralyzed dachshund whose hind legs no longer work, but his mama found a way to keep him in the action — a dachshund stroller built for exactly this kind of adventure.
A mama who does not give up: Instead of letting Monty miss out on walks, his owner pushes him along so he can feel the breeze, take in the smells, and be part of the world outside. That kind of dedication is something every dachshund owner recognizes.
Zoey knows this road: Zoey was paralyzed too. She had IVDD surgery and fought her way back to walking on her own. Watching Monty, she feels the connection. Not every dachshund gets the same outcome, but every one of them deserves this level of love.
The joy is real: Monty’s ears are up, his nose is working overtime, and there is no question he is having a good time. A stroller is not a consolation prize — for a dog who loves being outside, it is the whole point.
IVDD is common in dachshunds: Our long spines make us especially vulnerable to intervertebral disc disease. Some dogs recover fully with surgery, some need ongoing support, and some land somewhere in between. Monty’s stroller life is a reminder that quality of life is possible no matter where on that spectrum a dog ends up.
