Sonny Joins CARE’s “WALK OF FAME!”
Sonny is a happy, bouncy 8-year-old Yellow Lab who had not a care in the world (except for a few chronic orthopedic issues like ankle arthritis and a long-term ACL tear with arthritis in his knee). He also didn’t mind that he was a bit overweight; however the obesity issue was exacerbating his degenerative conditions.
In December 2008, Sonny was hit by a car. His many injuries included toe fractures, a left hip that went out of the socket, spine and rib fractures, and spinal cord trauma – which had left him paralyzed in his hind limbs.
