Renee Anthony, the receptionist at Grand Avenue Veterinary Hospital in West Des Moines, Iowa, loves her 14-year-old golden retriever, Andy. And she wasn’t about to let the atrophy of his hind legs slow him down.
“When tired or in a hurry, his hind legs collapse when he walks,” Anthony says. “Depending on where he goes down, it’s sometimes hard to lift his 90 pounds back into standing position.
