How Willy Got His Wheels (Able Bodiness)















Watching Sam's post about the dolphin loosing his fin and the whole concept of able bodiness for animals reminded me of a book I read as a child. This book How Willy Got His Wheels was about a dog who looses his back legs and gets adopted by a woman named Debroah and makes a wheelchair for him. This wheelchair helps him get around better because before he couldnt walk. I always thought this book was so inspiring and still remains as one of my favorites. Sam was correct we do not think about animals when we
think of able bodiness but this book is a good example of it.
