During a recent trip to Thailand, Meagan Penman, a model from Canada, was walking on the beach when she discovered a paralyzed dog struggling to walk.

Penman contacted a bunch of animal rescue services in the area but couldn’t find anywhere that would take him.

And she couldn’t take care of the dog, so she set up a Facebook page and a gofundme page.

She also gave him the handsome name of Leo. Penman got Leo to a local vet, and according to X-rays, Leo’s back is broken and he has no feeling in his lower legs.

He was also covered in ticks. He wasn’t a huge fan of bath time.

Penman ended up raising $7,740, more than enough to get Leo back to Canada with her and make sure he gets a brand new doggie wheelchair.

Three months after Penman spotted Leo on the beach he landed in Canada.

Penman’s next step was trying find him a permanent foster mom.

His sitting stance is pretty snazzy, if you ask me.

Luckily, a woman named Jamie saw Penman’s Facebook page and agreed to adopt Leo.

Now Leo’s chilling in Sarnia, Ontario, and he seems to be enjoying himself.

Oh, and his chair looks pretty great, too.
