Wilys accident
-
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!

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!

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. -
I read it too. Amazing progress, and great story on CBS. I can not believe poor Wily had to go through that, great humans in his life..

What a sad, sad thing to happen - we will keep Wily in our prayers, and you too.

hi all,
i just saw all these lovely msgs. thank you so much for the support! wily is doing GREAT. he goes to the park 2-3 times a wk now and is happy as ever. he's not 100% - no jumping or walking stairs, but he can really get running when he wants to chase something. he used to fishtail out when he would try to stop running - he's getting better control over that. he's still wobbly, but it's just part of his charm now i guess.most important thing is that he's happy and surrounded by lots of love from family and friends. we have a great basenji group that meets at the park every saturday morning. it's AWESOME. we had 10 kids there yesterday. soooo great.
as for Dallas, the bad dogwalker, he has lost most of his business, but unfortunately still has a few clients. i'm really surprised by this b/c they know the story and still choose to stay with him. we never sued b/c it would've just caused us more stress and we chose to really focus all of our energy on getting wily better. so.. it is what it is. and i've made sure to get pet insurance.
all for now. thanks everyone again! wily thanks you too…

Very nice pics, Wilysmom. Thanks for the update. You probably made the right decision re: the dogwalker. Court, lawyers etc. are no fun and do take up a lot of time that is better spent on more important things, as you have chosen. And the reward would probably have been minimal. I think it is nuts that there are still folks willing to allow him to take care of their furbabies after knowing what happened. There's no accounting for some people's standards.

Awesome news about Wily. I am glad he is alright and being able to be a basenji again, i.e running..
I agree with BART on Dallas, the cr–-y dogwalker, he will get his when the time comes..no point wasting positive energy on him. -
