    I wish I had a picture of it...but... We have a geriatric Maltese that is going on 18. Last year during September he slipped a disc in his back and we were worried about putting him down... Anyway, we had a dog wheelchair left over from nursing a Yorkie back to health(stray found at the vet on...
