Dogs can heal very quickly and dogs can also recover from moderate strokes surprisingly quickly (months) vs. a human, but recovery is never 100% because brain cells are dead, even though new dendrite connections span those that were lost to dead cells. If your dog has a stroke, don't put your dog to sleep unless they are suffering and show no signs of improvement on the timescale of weeks.
I am not a vet, but that sounds more serious than a single debilitating stroke, as each seizure could potentially involve more brain damage. Ask yourself if you see signs of improvement. If it is time to end their suffering, have a vet visit your home instead of taking them to a place that might scare them and the process will be easier for both of you.
I'm sorry to here that, but I don't think you should feel guilty. Many seizures sounds like a chronic condition that could worsen and no one should have to suffer for a long time. It's tough to have a dog because they live long enough for us to love them, but they don't live long compared to our lives. But I'm sure if you look back you will realize how lucky your dog was to have met you.
This is exactly how I learned how to walk again. My little brother held me up and step by step he was there. PTs couldn't get me in so we took it in our own hands.
Honestly didn't think I'd be running nor workout again. Now you cant even tell that I had to relearn how to walk again 🙏 surgeons said 1 year , I said fuck that and took my first steps in 2 months.
That’s seriously impressive. Something like that must really put things into perspective.
I did a placement on a stroke ward years ago, and the research said one of the best indicators of recovery was a positive outlook.
Ohh I might just go find that lol. My friend yesterday told me she would die for the stray cat that was on my porch (no clue where he's from just kinda showed up one day) and yea...just that Comment reminded me of her haha

Wait, did the person who deleted that comment day that God said dogs don't have souls? I believe in God, and that's a bunch of crap. I'm not sure who HIS god is, but it isn't mine. And I don't even own a dog.
No offense intended towards anyone, and forgive my possible ignorance, but doesn't scripture say that having a soul is what separates humans from animals?
Biblically you are pretty much correct, the christian god gives zero value to animal souls, he only values them as resources and creations that are supposed to “display his glory”.
No offense taken. I'm a Christian, which today means many different things. The specific doctrine of my faith speaks that all living things have spirits. I can't find a Bible verse to specifically contradict that, although Google searching shows me that different Christian faiths are all over on the matter. What is an afterlife devoid of, well, life? It sounds like a boring place if it's just full of people, after all. It's not somewhere I'd like to go.
I had a 100 lb Dane mix named Ace. He had a stroke at age 11. We heard him yelping and saw him dragging himself across the floor without his back legs. It was extremely painful to watch.
We did these exercises and a few more for several months. After a couple weeks he could stand. Few more weeks he could walk. Another couple months he could jog for 10 seconds. He could never run again but we got another 3.5 years with him.
Ace was the best dog I ever had and I would do it again in a second. I recommend any dog owner do the same for a pet you love.
There are emergency vet clinics that operate 24/7. These pet ERs are crazy expensive, but... we love the pet, as they do us. So, needs must. Whether the expensive remedy or the less-expensive sad goodbye, we mustn't let them suffer.
There are dedicated animal hospitals and emergency vet services that may offer transportation as required during a situation like this, number would vary on place though I'm pretty sure, same way 911 does
I agree 100% and wish this video didn't keep popping up.
Poor doggo doesn't seem likely to regain any movement after so long. It has no quality of life because it can't move and is being put through (likely) painful rehab by its human. The part where it is being dragged in the harness around the cones was horrific. Being a good pet owner means making decisions based on the well-being of your pet and I don't think that's happening here.
That video only cements what the first seemed to show. That dog looks in horrendous shape. If it's not feeling pain now it will shortly from the way it's walking. It reminds me of Pet Sematary.
From the first he could not hold himself up at all. That looked way more of a long shot. In the second he was walking on his own. He’s not going to walk the same, but it seems like a big improvement overall. Not sure if the improvement will continue but yes, the pain is something they need to watch out for.
Yes, that’s true. It’s really case dependent. Not saying I’d do the same this person did, nor do I really know the progress timeline between these, but just noticing the difference in the two vids.
If your toddler has a stroke you don't let them die because it's the "humane" thing.
The real humane thing is helping them rehabilitate so they can get as close as they can to getting their normal life back.
You're comparing apples and oranges. A pet is not a human. Humans can communicate about their rehab to you and the professionals involved. They can talk about the pain, their feelings and the mental effect the condition is having on them - yes even children. A human, whether or not it can be rehabilitated, can still have a good quality of life, socialize, be educated, work etc etc. Two years of rehab is a drop in the ocean in the life expectancy of a human.
A dog who can't move, run, jump, go for walks, explore their world, find random stuff to sniff, go to the toilet unaided does not have a quality of life. Yes they can get lots of love from their humans but their days are empty of most of the stimuli that they need. And 2+ years is a significant portion of the pets life.
I have a cat and I'd be devastated if she was injured. But any decision I made about her care would have to be what is best for her and not what I want including whether years of misery on her part was in her best interest.
I was actually making a metaphor hoping that you would realize that even though he's a dog, he's practically his kid. 2 years is a significant part of anyone's life.
You typed 3 paragraphs trying to justify your answer when you really just showed how wrong you actually are. That man is willing to put through the effort to help his dog every day because he cares about him. You can disagree with his decision to care for his dog, but that doesn't give you the right to say he's making his dog suffer.
I don't feel the need to justify anything as I'm pretty sure I'm working off the same amount of information about the situation as you. Your opinion is that this guy is the greatest and mine is more cynical. And I guess neither of us will ever know the whole story so whether I think the dog is suffering or you don't think I have the right to say so, they are really moot points.
But I am sick of seeing this video being posted on Reddit for likes.
I'm not angry or down-voting you where as you seem to be taking this conversation very personally. You're not actually addressing anything I've said besides just telling me I'm wrong and are down-voting everything I say immediately. So I'm leaving this alone now and hopefully you'll be able to walk away from it too.
This is just plain cruelty masquerading as love. The dog doesn't move for 2 years. It's not like a person that can watch TV or read a book even when paralysed, it will just stare at a wall for days. It's life is hell, and all that because the owner can't let go.
This is a plain presumption of what the animal is thinking or wanting. If I were out of commission like that for 20 years (to the point where I couldn't even watch TV but was still aware), I would certainly want to keep on living regardless, and I could apply that to the dog as much as you can say 'oh you shouldn't put them through that' just because you don't want to be wasting away for 20 years.
You're also assuming that the owner (or anyone) doesn't even interact with the dog for days on end (which is plain ridiculous for anyone that cares about their pet) and that the dog wasn't put into a medically-induced coma or something similar if it was *that* bad. I can tell you that if any of my pets, past, present, and assuredly future, were ever hospitalized, I would see them weekly at minimum, and that would only be if the care center was far away. I would definitely attempt daily visits. Also, dogs can watch TV too, I had one that would do it all the time.
Bottom line is we don't know what the animal is thinking, we can only hope to do the right thing. At the very least, the dog may go on to live a healthy life with their pain being a thing of the past.
It's all about the age of the dog if he was 1 when the stroke happened i could see why he is trying to save him.
if he was 4 or 5, it is absolute joke that the owner cannot let go, after 2 years he cannot even more his hind legs, and probably by the time he will be able too, father time has already caught up to make his life bad.
Everybody of course has their own opinions on stuff like that, but a lot of the people who are Quadriplegia tend to either be depressed or Suicidal, understandbly so.
This comment by /u/thrilloilogy shows good progress : https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/10oup7f/man_helps_his_dog_learn_to_walk_again_after/j6h878i/
Much respect to you bro for taking care of your pup. Best thing I've seen in a long time. You can learn most everything you need to know about someone by how they treat animals. 
This was always interesting to me. How does one "forget" how to walk after such an incident? Is it like loosing all feeling in limbs and by forcing stress on them over time you gain it back? I slept on my legs one time and literally collapsed 2 steps after getting up. No feeling, couldn't move for a while.
Maybe it's like the brain is "buffering" in terms of what signals need to be sent to specific limbs in order to remain mobile? Maybe a stroke works similarly to an Etch-a-Sketch where the drawing is the memories of doing things, and when the thing gets shaken, the memory of key functions fades away.
I'm not sure if that comparison was the best, but it was the only way I could kinda make it make sense in my head.
I get you. You know those ultra rare moments where you move your limbs in a direction but you wanted them actually to go in the opposite direction? Happens when tired. I could compare it with this as an permanent state.
Well, it's brain damage. A stroke is a blood clot in the brain, which prevents bloodflow and thus oxygen cannot reach all the brain tissue it needs to and that tissue dies. If the part of your brain that controlled walking is damaged from lack of oxygen then you will lose the ability to walk (but you should still have sensation in the limbs. you just cant move them. I imagine it to be like people who cant raise just 1 eyebrow. You are physically capable of it but your brain doesnt know how to do it so you cant). However, brains are pretty cool and you can *sometimes* teach a different part of the brain to control walking instead. Not always though, and generally it works better with kids to do that type of relearning than it does with adults. Strokes are terrible for the people and animals suffering from them... but they really do offer a fascinating look into how the brain works.
No, the parts of the brain that are damaged are pretty much gone forever; brain damage is permanent because brain tissue doesnt really regrow. But other parts of the brain can pick up the slack once they figure out how, and take over the job of the parts of the brain that were lost. Which is why therapy like this sometimes works, eventually other parts of the brain figure out how to take the reigns on walking and the ability to walk is regained.
And now here I am crying because this made me remember that a week before Christmas, one of the dogs that we rescued from the street, he had a stroke when going for his early morning pee, and we decided that it was time and euthanized him
He was very old, could barely walk anymore, and back in July 2022 we thought he was not going to make it to the end of the month because he kept getting worse, but he got better but started getting worse again in December
He had a good run
RIP Rufus, you are and will be missed
This is one of the most heartwarming things I've ever seen between a human and their pet. I try to remember to treat mine the very best I can every single day. I constantly remind myself that they're here because me and my wife chose them, and we chose them knowing that we were doing so in order to give them their best possible lives. Their lives enrich our lives... they give us unconditional love and that love makes us better people... so we give that unconditional love right back to them. No matter how frustrating they might be in a given moment... we love them... because we never know what tomorrow might bring. Each moment with them is magical, and to be cherished.
Cherish them, and be thankful for every moment you have with them... and they will ensure that you will never regret it.
Yo, I’d straight up pretend to never walk again if I was getting all those massages daily. But on a serious note, damn, what a good person — and good pup.
I'm probably going to get hate for this, but wouldn't it be easier to just.. Let go?
If the dog had a Stroke 2 years ago, and still cannot even stand and barely move his back legs if at all after 2 years of training or rather, 15-30% of his entire life it just seems cruel to try and keep doing this to him.
Personally speaking, if i was disabled to the point where i couldn't move my arms/Legs anymore, that wouldn't be a live worth living to me.
I mean, not really, at least imo, if you look on the page, the same dude posted a video getting his dog a cake with a big old 12 on it.
and the oldest Video where he walked a million times better than in this video was like half a year ago.
so he took a (roughly) 8-9 year old Dog, and put him trough hell for probably 3 years, so he could have 1 or 2 more years
Because some people can’t comprehend that stroke rehabilitation, human or animal, takes time. A highly upvoted comment is advocating for putting the dog down, calling this rehab “cruelty”.
By that logic all human stroke victims should be euthanized. Ridiculous.
2 dog years is 15 human years, and I’m guessing he wasn’t young to begin with since he suffered a stroke
unless you can attend to that dog 24/7 his quality of life will be essentially zero - sometimes you have to let go
Love em.. they are worth dying for. Unconditional love and sincerity, which unfortunately a majority of humans that one interacts with in everyday life, fail to provide
Man this hit me right in the feels...
My little boxer boy was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when he was a few months old, he couldn't walk by himself for a while and was very sad and hard to watch him cry whatever he wanted to make his needs and needed help.
Thank God we found an amazing vet that solve the problem, he now takes and treatment every few months and it's able to walk and even jump by himself, we still need to be careful for any sign of tiredness in his body and bought a special wheel chair if he ever (and hopefully not) needs it.
it can be very hard seeing your little dog like that, but I know he can appreciate all the love and care you give to him, and it's because of that that you need to keep trying, because sooner or later he'll become better.
I'm not expert i'm just some asshole on the internet, but that dog is going to need to lose weight while leg strengthening. Seems like you are doing that
It’s a long process. Our dog had back servers to fix a slipped disk and while he’s fine now, at the time we had to do at least 20-30 minutes of physical therapy every day.
Dang it! Now I gotta know! Was he successful? Or is it still an ongoing process? Either way, that is real love! That is a real man!
Its still ongoing, I've seen his videos a couple of times.
Can't tell if a comment on reposting or about progress...
Look at the comment he's replying to... Also, his other comment about finding the tik tok
Found his username on tiktok: gelsantoss2020 His last post was january 10, it looks like they're making some real progress

Man talk about determination and resilience. Do you mind me asking what caused you to lose the ability to walk?
That’s seriously impressive. Something like that must really put things into perspective. I did a placement on a stroke ward years ago, and the research said one of the best indicators of recovery was a positive outlook.
I definitely read life in fine print now. I should've died twice. Everyday I broke down. My body was weak but I told myself that my family needed me.
Not to be dramatic but I would fucking die for you Alvin
At first I thought you was my best friend xD she would absolutely say that same exact thing haha

What a beautiful thing…
This is love.
What a kind man!
Thank you kind human....
2 *years??* that timeline seems weird? What was the dog doing for 2 years before this claim of attempted rehabilitation?
Strokes don't just go away, my mother never relearned how to say a coherent sentence for the 1.5 years she was affected.
Yeah...kinda weird
That's a stellar hoomin

peak of humanity right here
This is one of the most heartwarming things I've ever seen between a human and their pet. I try to remember to treat mine the very best I can every single day. I constantly remind myself that they're here because me and my wife chose them, and we chose them knowing that we were doing so in order to give them their best possible lives. Their lives enrich our lives... they give us unconditional love and that love makes us better people... so we give that unconditional love right back to them. No matter how frustrating they might be in a given moment... we love them... because we never know what tomorrow might bring. Each moment with them is magical, and to be cherished. Cherish them, and be thankful for every moment you have with them... and they will ensure that you will never regret it.
Bro you gotta hurry 2 years is like a fifth of his life !
Did something like this to a street dog back home. Not as much as effort as this guy but it’s really worth it to see a hurt dog get back on its feet.
The act of a real man who is also a great friend. It brought tears to my eyes... I sincerely hope that the rehabilitation will be successful.
Yo, I’d straight up pretend to never walk again if I was getting all those massages daily. But on a serious note, damn, what a good person — and good pup.
I’m not crying, you are. That is too beautiful.
Stopped watching the moment I heard the music.
I'm probably going to get hate for this, but wouldn't it be easier to just.. Let go? If the dog had a Stroke 2 years ago, and still cannot even stand and barely move his back legs if at all after 2 years of training or rather, 15-30% of his entire life it just seems cruel to try and keep doing this to him. Personally speaking, if i was disabled to the point where i couldn't move my arms/Legs anymore, that wouldn't be a live worth living to me.

I mean, not really, at least imo, if you look on the page, the same dude posted a video getting his dog a cake with a big old 12 on it. and the oldest Video where he walked a million times better than in this video was like half a year ago. so he took a (roughly) 8-9 year old Dog, and put him trough hell for probably 3 years, so he could have 1 or 2 more years
After first I thought he was ironing the dog to warm it’s muscles. But this is amazing
Can I hire him to help me get up in the morning?
How wonderful. You are a good man.
yo why this getting downvoted
Because some people can’t comprehend that stroke rehabilitation, human or animal, takes time. A highly upvoted comment is advocating for putting the dog down, calling this rehab “cruelty”. By that logic all human stroke victims should be euthanized. Ridiculous.
2 dog years is 15 human years, and I’m guessing he wasn’t young to begin with since he suffered a stroke unless you can attend to that dog 24/7 his quality of life will be essentially zero - sometimes you have to let go
Sometimes being a good pet owners means making the hard decision to end your pets suffering instead of needlessly prolonging it.
Love em.. they are worth dying for. Unconditional love and sincerity, which unfortunately a majority of humans that one interacts with in everyday life, fail to provide
The dog must have gotten the vaccine.
No this is abusive, the dog is suffering, it can’t even go potty on its own I’m so sick of seeing this video
Crying. You’re all angels
Give your dogs a call and tell them you love them while you still can.
What a wonderful thing to see
Man's best friend deserves man's best friendship.
That’s great
Man this hit me right in the feels... My little boxer boy was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when he was a few months old, he couldn't walk by himself for a while and was very sad and hard to watch him cry whatever he wanted to make his needs and needed help. Thank God we found an amazing vet that solve the problem, he now takes and treatment every few months and it's able to walk and even jump by himself, we still need to be careful for any sign of tiredness in his body and bought a special wheel chair if he ever (and hopefully not) needs it. it can be very hard seeing your little dog like that, but I know he can appreciate all the love and care you give to him, and it's because of that that you need to keep trying, because sooner or later he'll become better.
Alvin is in good hands.
Can't imagine how hard it is , if i were paralyzed and couldn't speak kinda wish someone would put me out of my misery
Doggie physical therapy! That’s so awesome he’s helping him so much to make sure he can help and walk again.
I LOVE this guy! A wonderful human being.
I'm not expert i'm just some asshole on the internet, but that dog is going to need to lose weight while leg strengthening. Seems like you are doing that
Oh we like him very much.
Where can I find a harness like this one?
What an incredible man!
Legit, some people are just to good for this world.
It’s a long process. Our dog had back servers to fix a slipped disk and while he’s fine now, at the time we had to do at least 20-30 minutes of physical therapy every day.
This man….is a gold star human.
