• hi everyone!
    here's the fun update on wily 🙂 we finished phyical therapy at CARE last thur and he got a glowing review. i wanted to get him a doggie treadmill ("Jog-a-dog") but they're so expensive.. the dr. said the best exercise to do would be to walk in sand, so that's what i'm going to do with him at the park. anything to keep him off balance so that he continues to correct himself.

    wily's doing great and we actually went up to the dog park for the first time in almost 4mths today! he saw some old friends (bella and tyler) and had a great time.

    yesterday wily was on the news for a story on physical therapy for dogs. they were featuring CARE. here it is! our little star..

    hope everyone is doing well. and thanks for all of your good wishes. they worked! he's got a little ways to go now as far as his legs are concerned, but his spirit is just the same.

    thanks!
    rita.


  • Amazing!!! Wily is such a little trooper! Hopefully we will see you at the park soon - I would really love to meet him!!


  • Oh congrats Rita…I am soo happy to get to see how well he is doing. You have done an amazing job, not giving up and helping him regain everything he had lost. Love to your baby boy. 😃

  • It's such a bitter/sweet story. Bless you for all you did for Wily. He looks amazing. After watching the video I had tears of joy for you and Wily. What a great little boy he is, but what a wonderful mom you are.


  • Wow, that is an amazing story, and it was great to see little wiley walking on the jog a dog and eating those treats! hats off to you, what a great mommy!


  • A friend just sent that link to me, posted on basenji rescue. I was thrilled to see Wily and how well he is doing! Lots of people have been pulling for the little guy. Your work and dedication has really paid off!

  • well that brought tears to my eyes! Wily is such a trooper.


  • I just watched the video and all I can say is that is amazing! I'm so glad that Wily has recovered so well…it is truly unbelievable. Congrats.


  • Wily's progress are just amazing!


  • My mom (who lives in Pennsylvania, by the way) called me earlier today to tell me that she saw a news story about a physical therapy place in CA and that a basenji was featured. I said, "was his name Wily??" and of course it was. I guess Wily is a NATIONAL star now 🙂 Just thought you'd like to know that news agencies across the country are showing that piece with your boy!


  • Great story on Wily - and the PT Center.


  • It brought tears to my eyes to see him doing so well. You've done a magnificent job helping him get better….with the help of the PT Center of course....Hugs to you both!


  • ok, I was crying when I watched that. I am so happy that Wily is doing so well.


  • OMG! That video is amazing! Wily is such an amazing dog to go through so much and be such a trooper. I wish you the best of luck! He is an amazing little dog and has come so far! Thats awesome!


  • Im sooooo sorry 😞 this is heart breaking. Your in our thoughts and hearts 🙂

  • how amazing that he is doing so well…. WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!! for Wily and his wonderful humans....


  • Wow what an amazing story. Have just read this thread and followed Wilys progress through it. I am so pleased he is making such wonderful progress, you must have worked so hard with him.
    The care centre sounds fantastic, don't think we have anything like that in England.
