A 12-year-old came up with a brilliant idea. A makeshift wheelchair for a puppy - using Lego – something that can be rebuilt simple, larger, anytime at all, as the dog grows grow.


This puppy was dumped at a veterinary clinic, missing her two front legs due to a birth defect.
The vet reached out to a local rescue called Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue, in Kennesaw, Georgia, who took Gracie in to help her find a new home. The family who runs the shelter decided to adopt her for themselves, but were worried about her getting around so they enlisted the help of Dylan, 12, a volunteer at the shelter.

Because the puppy would continue to grow, she needed a wheelchair that could adapt. So Dylan built one using Legos that the puppy could be velcroed into.
