Dog gets special wheelchair from Mercedes-Benz. It started with a comment
A video showing the dog roaming around with its new custom made wheelchair by Mercedes-Benz has left people smiling.
Social media is not just about sharing things but it can also help people get wonderful ideas for various projects. That is what happened with an animal rescuer who got the brilliant idea to reach out to Mercedes-Benz with a special request. From a comment on a video, he got the idea to ask the automobile giant for a wheelchair for a rescue dog named Bunny. And guess what happened? The adorable pooch got a special wheelchair from the brand and it now helps her roam around easily and happily.
Why did Mercedes-Benz gift a wheelchair to the rescue dog?
It all started with a video shared by Henry Friedman on his Instagram page keepingfinn. He shared a video of Bunny and explained how she was abandoned by her owners after meeting with an accident that resulted in her losing her hind legs. The video quickly went viral and someone left a comment on it saying, “This dog deserves the Mercedes-Benz of wheelchairs”. This gave Friedman the genius idea to reach out to the company to share Bunny’s journey. To his surprise, they not only loved the idea but also “hooked her up with a fresh set of wheels”. He then visited an outlet along with Bunny where she got her custom-made wheelchair.
