Wookie the three legged walker

Friday, May 09, 2008

Marjorie McKinney and Wookie are walkers, but Wookie, a pomeranian, is remarkable since he only has three legs. In January of 2004 he lost his left front leg in an altercation with a truck, yet three days later he was eager to walk again. Wookie has been through a lot in his 13 years. He's has been sick a few times and he was mauled by a larger dog in 2005. "He's a survivor," said Marjorie. He wears a Harley Davidson sweater on colder days now, perhaps to let other dogs know he's tougher than he looks.
