Rescue dog tests out new wheelchair ramp in heartwarming video

ACWORTH, Ga. - A wheelchair-using dog showed off his bravery last month after a new ramp was installed in his home. 

The video, uploaded on Facebook on July 3, shows a paralyzed rescue dog, named Benny, barking with excitement over his present before courageously testing out the ramp.

The Tucker Farm is a foster family for Bosley’s Place, a neonatal rescue orphanage for puppies in Smyrna, Georgia. Benny was surrendered to the rescue by his breeder at two weeks of age when it was suspected that he had a spinal deformity.

His foster, Elizabeth LaBauve of the Tucker Farm, can be heard in the video praising Benny as a "good boy" and giving him some treats.

"Benny is so excited about his new ramp! Now to master it!," Tucker Farm wrote on social media.
