Dog From England Set to Make History as the First Wheelchair-Using Canine to Climb Mount Snowdon

The amount of love we have for our canine companions is boundless. Their tail-wagging greetings can provide us with solace on the most dull days. Yet, their unwavering loyalty and love are left unreciprocated. This story remains true to a specially-abled dog from Okehampton, who was abandoned by the family he was born to. 

An unprecedented tale of courage and resilience is unraveling in the picturesque town of Okehampton. A mixed-breed dog of the town, Hope will soon be creating history as she steps forward to reach the summit of Yr Wyddfa. 

A journey of the wheelchair dog from adversity to creating history

Hope was born to a family in Spain. She was an extraordinary mixed-breed dog. But unfortunately, her previous owners disowned her and threw her over a fence. This inhuman act left a permanent mark on her paralyzing her from the middle of her spine to her back limbs. Her vertebrae were completely fractured and her hip bones were dislocated. 

Amanda’s Spanish Rescue Dogs Organization adopted her after rescuing the puppy dog. Now she is a member of a loving family. Hope’s life took a remarkable turn after she was equipped with a special cross-country wheelchair which ignited in her a passion for hiking. The wheelchair canine’s newfound zest for adventure made her family decide to embark with her on an extraordinary journey.

Hope’s mother, Kerry Rushton shared how they came to know about Hope’s passion for hiking on Facebook saying, “We were high up on Dartmoor one weekend near Yes Tor with Hope, and we were admiring how easily Hope navigates the terrain and how easy she finds the climb.”

They are soon to conquer the majestic peaks of Mount Snowdon in Wales. The driving factor for this mission is to provide support to the organization, Amanda’s Spanish Rescue Dogs, which once saved the life of Hope.

Hope’s family decided to try and help the charity after they discovered Hope’s newfound interest in hiking. “This is what got us thinking about climbing a famous mountain that people have heard of and that we may be able to raise some money for the charity that rescued her,” said Ms. Rushton.

The organization has provided all the assistance possible to Hope’s new family to fund her medical treatment. Hope’s new home was to be renovated to make it fit for her stay.

Hope’s family installed wooden flooring removing the carpets to make the home a safer space for her. Artificial grass was used to cover the slabs and stones of the garden so that it became easier for Hope to roam around wearing her wheelchair.

Hope and her family will be going on their expedition on September 9. Hope already had an upgrade in her wheels and is all set for her journey to the highest peak of Wales.

The wheelchair canine’s inspiring odyssey to reach the heights of Snowdonia will forever be etched in the annals of history. Let us know about your views in the comment box below.
