My Dog Has Fallen and He Can't Get Up!Powerful Patient, 2010 Week 32Host: Joyce Graff, http://powerfulpatient.org, editor@vhl.org 800-767-4845
Joyce talks with Judy Wolff about her dog Tucker, a laborador retriever, who was paralyzed by a fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE). With care and patience, Tucker has made a remarkable recovery. Judy shares their experiences, some day-to-day logistical suggestions, in the hope that others may give their dogs a chance to recover. Tucker's story is not only inspirational to other dogs, but also to us humans.
About the book:My Dog Has Fallen and He Can't Get Up!
This is a touching story about a cataclysmic event that befell Judy's beloved dog Tucker, an 8-year-old black Labrador Retriever. She details the trials and tribulations on his long road to recovery, with many practical suggestions for methods and products that were helpful to her and to Tucker.
Tucker's story has important lessons for anyone recovering from paralysis, or anyone supporting a loved one through that experience. There are many things we can do, if we apply our imaginations and our common sense to making sensible adaptations to support the person or animal through this difficult time.
Judy's commitment to Tucker, and Tucker's persistence and willingness to adapt, hold good lessons for us all: Keep on keeping on, and Never Give Up.
I highly recommend this book to all. It's a quick read (104 pages, lots of pictures), and will leave you smiling.
