The 9-year-old pup was diagnosed with a spinal disorder known as IVDD in 2022 and his recovery has been documented by his owners following a “really complicated surgery.” Harlso’s life changed after his condition was discovered, but with the love and support of his owners, he is back to being an independent doggo on wheels and has continued to show his balancing tricks.

“It’s a little different than being sling walked in that I can go where I want and sniff what I want for as long as I want! But the principles the same and hopefully my weak leg continues to get stronger… though admittedly progress has slowed down over the past few weeks, so maybe this is as strong as it’ll get! I’m still happy, if not happier.”
