Dublin ‘The Paralyzed Pup’ inspiring many as he trains to become a therapy dog

A disabled dog from Elk River is serving as an inspiration to many.

Dublin, “The Paralyzed Pup,” is training to become a therapy dog.

At five weeks old, the yellow lab lost the use of his back legs; he was surrendered and brought in by a rescue.

Last year, Cassie Oslund adopted Dublin, bought him a wheelchair, and decided to make him a therapy dog.

“Everyone that has met Dublin has had a smile on their face,” Oslund said. “I was able to meet up with a little boy who uses a wheelchair, we kind of surprised him, and he was shocked that dogs can have wheelchairs too. It’s very inspirational. It just melts your heart.”
