re: Need advice about my old dog

Skateboard and a ratchet strap? I suspect there is a commercial product for your situation. When I was a kid my grandmother had a dog that got run over and was crippled from about mid torso back. He drug himself around like your describe for about 10-12 years. He never acted as if he knew anything was different - full of energy, playful. Dogs are incredible adaptive....folks would lie around and be full of anger but a dog just accepts it and moves on. There is some truth to their being bliss in ignorance...
