I already had Chula, another rescue Chug, and didn't want a second when Roo came into my life. (I had been dog sitting him for a week for my cousin, his foster mom.) The elbows on Roo's front legs are fused into a bent position, which means he can't straighten them out. (Vets think he might have broken them coming through the birth canal.) He can walk and run, more like a kangaroo than a dog, but gets tired after awhile, which is why I modified a baby stroller for him to jump in and out of. Roo and his Roadster, with me as his Roober Driver, have walked so many miles since summer of 2012 that we are now on our third stroller. In addition, Roo, Chula and I spent a year traveling around the United States, and last summer drove all the way across Canada and back to the West coast, after spending one month in Newfoundland. Roo is an inspiration to disabled people who meet him and, along with Chula, also volunteers at Assisted Living, where they both make many people very happy.
