Sammi went in to the vet to have excess bone that was pressing on his spinal column removed, but unfortunately the procedure wasn’t possible, and he ended up a quadriplegic. His outlook was grim. However, Sammi’s family still did what they could. They took him on a trip to the California Animal Rehabilitation Center in hopes that, with intensive therapy, he might still find a way to regain some movement.

What ended up happening completely exceeded everyone’s expectations, and turned into one of the most heart-wrenching and warming stories you’ll ever see. This is what real love and dedication look like!
