Meet The Adorable Two-Legged Disabled Dog Who Runs Around Just Like A T-Rex

This adorable puppy doesn’t let being born with deformed front paws get in the way - as he bounds around just like a T-Rex.

Reuben is forced to stand on his back legs and runs around like a dinosaur - holding his deformed front paw like a tyrannosaurus rex forelimb.

The happy pooch was rescued by British charity Safe Rescue for Dogs from a certain death in Eastern Europe earlier this year.

Charity worker, Zoe Hare, 42, said: “Ruben knows no different and doesn’t understand there is anything wrong with him.

“He throws himself into everything with the same gusto as puppies with four legs.”

Owner Karen Stanway, 31, adopted the happy pooch and is hoping a pair of wheels will give him a renewed lease of life.

The mum-of-one fell in love with seven-month-old Reuben before she had even met him.

“He plays with my other dog, Ally, and goes for walks despite his disability,” she said.

Karen said that, despite his bubbly personality, she regularly gets strange looks from passers-by.

She said: “When we take him out, people give us dirty looks sometimes.

"I’ve heard someone mutter under their breath he should have been put to sleep but he’s such a happy dog and doesn’t know there’s anything wrong with him.”

Karen added that despite his enthusiasm for life, the Jack Russell Collie cross quickly tires from the extra energy exerted from using only his back legs.

“He’s only a baby and he is desperate to run around, so a set of wheels is the best option for now.”

She has set up a crowdfunding page to help with donations for his wheels, but is only asking for £500 from strangers.

She added: “We are desperate to see him have the freedom he deserves - he is such a special and happy boy and for all he’s been through deserves this chance.”
