Dedicated grandfather builds car, takes big sick dog for walks every day

 

Tonino Vitale lives in Italy and he loves his labrador Dylan to the moon and back.

At 13, Dylan had a long life. Unfortunately, the years have left their mark on him.

When Vitale noticed that Dylan was becoming less energetic, he took his pet dog to the vet.

There, Dylan was diagnosed with arthritis.

Arthritis is a disease that affects the joints and is unfortunately common in older dogs.

Arthritis causes pain and discomfort in one or more joints and often leads to stiffness and difficulty moving.

For Vitale, Dylan's diagnosis is a clear reminder that this pet dog won't live forever.
Vitale decided to start taking Dylan on a special walk each day to make the rest of his time on Earth as fun as possible.

Walking alone has become too painful and exhausting for Dylan due to his arthritis, but Vitale has a plan.

Vitale built a stroller for Dylan to lie down, and he let Dylan and the stroller go around so the puppy could enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful scenery.
And when Vitale started taking Dylan out for "walks" every day, he noticed that the old dog seemed to be more alert and happier.

Vitale's love and devotion showed his dog went unnoticed, and one of his neighbors took a video of the sweet couple one day.
Since then, the video has gone viral and we believe it will inspire more people to go further for their older children.
