Waggy races! Dozens of disabled stray dogs use wheelchairs to take their daily walk at sanctuary in Thailand

The 27 dogs from a shelter in Chonburi, Thailand, appeared to be beaming from ear to ear as enjoyed a stroll with their wheel aides

With tails wagging to a chorus of barks and yelps, dozens of disabled dogs attached to wheels that support their disabled hind legs looked ecstatic as they took their daily walk at a sanctuary in Thailand.

Mostly victims of accidents, the 27 dogs are being nursed back to health at a shelter in Thailand’s province of Chonburi southeast of the capital, Bangkok.

They beamed from ear to ear as they took to the rocky track with their wheels for their dose of exercise for the day.

‘It’s almost like they have no idea that they have a disability and once you put them in the wheelchair for the first time, it’s like there’s no learning curve,’ said shelter official Christopher Chidichimo.

Thanks to mobility devices, the disabled dogs were able to get some much needed outside exercise in Chonburi, Thailand

During their exercise outing at the shelter, the disabled dogs were even joined by some strays who decided to join in with all the fun

Shelter official Christopher Chidichimo said ‘It’s almost like they have no idea that they have a disability’ once the dogs are placed in the wheelchairs for the first time

The shelter, run by a foundation called The Man That Rescues Dogs, was set up by a Swede who moved to Chonburi in 2002 and was so dismayed by the poor condition of strays that he started caring for them after work.

But its future is now in doubt, after the coronavirus pandemic led to a 40 per cent drop in donations and slashed the number of foreign visitors.

‘The donations are very important and the volunteers and visitors are equally important, because they come and spread our message,’ said Chidichimo, who is a sponsorship coordinator at the shelter.

The shelter spends more than $1,300 (£946.42) each day to care for more than 600 dogs and feed 350 more that live on the streets.

The shelter takes care of a range of dogs from different backgrounds and even offers physiotherapy sessions

Its volunteers also look after paralysed and disabled dogs, including physiotherapy sessions, but scarce funds have forced it to suspend a monthly campaign to spay and neuter strays.

Thailand, estimated to have more than 800,000 stray cats and dogs in 2017, could see their number reach 2 million by 2027 and 5 million in 20 years unless it takes some steps to control numbers, livestock authorities says.

For now, the disabled dogs in Chonburi enjoy their daily rambles. ‘They are eager for us to strap them up,’ said dog handler Phanuphong Borphuak, referring to the canine mobility aids.

‘They run very fast, we humans can’t keep up with them.’

After suffering financially as a result of the pandemic the shelter has been forced to suspend a monthly campaign to spay and neuter strays

After their energetic walk the dogs enjoyed a boy of food after working up quite the appetite with their running around

The Journey of Nancy Sinatra: Resilience, Transformation, and Success

The well-known Frank Sinatra’s daughter, Nancy Sinatra, has never been out of the spotlight. She was exposed to the opulent lifestyle that came along with her father’s fame while growing up in a magnificent New Jersey home. Despite this, the family was concerned about the attention and throngs that collected around their home.

Nancy had to face challenges even though she came from a wealthy background to become a great singer. Due to the poor reception of her early releases, there were even reports that her father’s record label was thinking of removing her. Nancy, though, was unmoved. She embarked on a mission to alter her situation.

Nancy made a triumphant return to the music business by altering her image and undergoing voice training. Her transformation from an unfulfilled artist to a hitmaker is proof of her ability, perseverance, and determination. She is an inspiration to budding artists who are overcoming obstacles in their own lives.

Nancy faced difficulties even though she achieved incredible success in the music industry. After she left college early and discovered that her father’s record business would terminate her, her career seemed uncertain. But everything changed when lyricist Lee Hazlewood offered advice on how to pursue her career.

Singing down an octave, Nancy, with Hazlewood’s assistance, discovered her own voice. Additionally, he helped her update her appearance so that it more closely resembled the trendy “Carnaby Street” image. Nancy’s greatest degree of success was attained with her number-one hits, “Sugar Town,” “How Does That Grab You, Darlin’?” and “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” thanks to her renewed concentration. She even made her mark on the big screen, costarring on screen with icons of the motion picture industry like Elvis Presley and Peter Fonda.

Nancy made the decision to step back from the spotlight in the 1970s, even with her many accomplishments, so that she could spend more time with her family. But when she released her third album and posed for Playboy at the age of 54, she stunned everyone. Her work with well-known musicians such as Bono and Morrissey showed that her passion and musical ability were unwavering.

Nancy loved her father so much that she authored two books on his life. In recognition of her commitment to preserving his memory, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her distinct fashion sense—particularly her go-go boots—became strongly linked to her character. Those iconic boots, albeit she no longer owns them, left a lasting impression on her career and image.

Nancy has struggled in her personal life in addition to her musical career. She divorced young singing idol Tommy Sands after a few years of marriage. Nancy made the decision to prioritize her daughters’ schooling over her singing career. During this time, she met Hugh Lambert, who would become her second husband. Their marriage was sadly ended in 1985 when Hugh succumbed to illness.

Nancy Sinatra persevered through personal hardships to pursue a demanding career. Nancy’s Boutique was founded in 2020 as an internet-based shop where fans could purchase CDs, exclusive products, and autographed items. She also hosted the weekly radio show “Nancy for Frank” until 2021, during which she shared personal information about her life and her relationship with her late father.

Nancy has a vivid and strong personality that has inspired many, and her contributions to the music industry are absolutely remarkable. As long as she continues to pursue a wide range of activities, she will undoubtedly be recognized as a representative of her generation. Nancy Sinatra led a life marked by unwavering determination, transformation, and unmatched success.
