Wheelchair-Bound Dog's Owners Hope He Finds New Home

It's the tale of a lost dog with two names, whose two paralyzed back legs have confined it to a two-wheeled cart.

And the story started with a simple blog on 13WMAZ's "Where You Live" community website and was followed with a Facebook post. 

In fewer than 24 hours, thousands of Central Georgians had seen and shared the story of a wheelchair-bound chihuahua who'd been found "rolling around loose in the area of Daffodil Street, off Mercer University Drive."

His name, we were told, was Princeton. 

Questions -- about Princeton, about the owners -- poured in, as did offers to adopt the little dog that could.

Brothers of the Heart

Brothers of the Heart

Best friends forever. Bonded. Soulmates.

Those are some of the ways Blackie and Sammy are described by those who have met them down at the Bibb-Macon animal control facility at 1010 Eleventh Street in Macon.

Turned in by their owners, who could no longer keep them, these young dogs huddle together in their kennel, confused and unsure about why they are there and what will happen to them.

Sammy is a full-blooded Labrador retriever with the typical happy-go-lucky, "let's play" demeanor when he's taken out of the kennel. Blackie is a lab mix and a little more reserved -- a little shy, maybe, or a little more afraid of what the future may hold. He stays as close to Sammy as he can, for reassurance, to be near a familiar loved one.
