What a difference (video)

There were times this year when Ozzy could barely get up, many times needing us to help him. Times when he could barely walk un-assisted, times when he never raised his head, times his hocks crossed so much he would almost fall over.

Now he may look pretty wonky, but he is stronger than he has ever been, he is running and playing and swimming and tossing his head back.

A great deal of his success I really feel is due to the wonderful help and concern and caring and knowledge of everyone on this site.

These few short clips of him having normal doggie fun tell a greater story of overcoming some pretty tough times and in true newfie style, he never lost his sweet personality or his tremendous courage.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone for helping me be the best Mum I can be to my big beautiful baby!

Roisin,
It is just wonderful to see Ozzie so happy and being able to enjoy "normal" fun doggy play. He is a very lucky boy that he had you guys for parents. Who knows what he would be like if someone else had him. Not everyone would have gone to such lengths to see that he had a better quality of life. Thanks for sharing those clips.

It's great to see him acting like a normal newfie. Love the "newfie tease" with the toy. That's how Maggie and Lucy play. One of them has the toy, waves it in the other one's face, then keeps turning away with it. Eventually, they're chasing each other all over the yard, playing keep-away with the toy.
