Paralysed Rottweiler learns to walk again after swimming lessons

A paralysed dog has made an amazing recovery – thanks to swimming lessons.
Bear, a six-year-old Rottweiler, was left unable to walk after falling down the stairs last November.

Owner Katherine Lanson, 49, was warned his injuries were so severe he might have to be put to sleep. But Katherine, from Chorlton, refused to give up and another vet diagnosed compression of the spinal cord.

She discovered hydrotherapy could help and took Bear for weekly swimming sessions at hydrotherapy pool for dogs at boarding kennels Mypetstop in Denton.

Now, almost a year on, he is able to walk again.
