This is the third in our series about other folks' disabled animals — and that's Koda, a Golden Retriever who has cerebellar hypoplasia.  Koda belongs to Garry P. in northern California.  Garry recently wrote us to say:

"I work with a Golden Retriever Rescue Group in northern California and I just recently adopted a 2-year old male Golden who came to us with CH.  He's like your Allie in spirit and will be a wonderful companion for me and my other Goldens.

I've only had him since just before Thanksgiving but he captured my heart the moment I saw him and has continued to be just a wonderful fella, full of life and fun.  As he's become more and more comfortable in my home and become used to daily exercise and activity and joined my crew in play and walks, he's stronger and more stable and gets around much better than when he first arrived — as you noted with Allie.

He's become the wrestling partner for one of my other female Goldens who loves to mix it up with him."

Here is another photo of Koda, who is about to steal Garry's spot on the bed:

I think I've seen that sly look before somewhere.  Hmm.
