Wheelchairs To Help Dogs In Need

We have just lost our Beautiful Brave Border Terrier ‘Benson’ at the age of 16 yrs 5 Months. He was an incredible dog who inspired so many people because he used wheels. Benson slipped a disk aged 4 and became paralysed. Unfortunately surgery was unsuccessful. We were determined not to give up on him as he was still the exact same fabulous dog, it was just his back legs that didn’t work. We borrowed some old wheels from the vet and Benson accepted them straight away, so we decided to buy him his own wheels. These came from America and were a huge expense after very high vet bills. That money was the best we ever spent! They gave Benson his life and his freedom back. We threw his tennis ball and off he went. Benson walked hundreds and hundreds or miles in his wheels over the years in this country and beyond. Nothing stood in his way, fields, woodland, sand and snow he zoomed through them all. Everywhere he went he made people smile because they could see how much he loved life and how much freedom his wheels gave him. He was our pride and joy and we are so proud of him. Unfortunately dogs can’t life forever and on the 22/7/22 we had to say the hardest good bye! Those wheels gave Benson twelve more years of life.

I have discovered an amazing charity called “Winston’s Wheels” who buy and then loan out dog wheelchairs and strollers to dogs in need! The wheels are then returned when no longer needed, to help another dog. It’s all done in memory of Winston, another amazing dog who thrived on wheels. I believe it’s a fantastic charity who helps families going through the most difficult time, to give their dogs the chance at life that they all deserve.

We have set up this page in the hope we can raise some money for this very worthy cause in Benson’s name, so that other dogs can be given the opportunity to live their lives to the full and shine their lights wherever they go just like Benson did. He was our star and will live in us forever.

With Thanks Katy & Family
