Kenny, the Doberman’s story is one of immense courage in the face of unbelievable odds. Despite being close to death, Kenny fought hard every day and eventually made a miraculous recovery.

Kenny was left paralyzed in all four legs after a kennel gate fell on his neck. Leslie Gallagher, the founder of Two Hands Four Paws, took him in and cared for him though he could no longer move or take care of himself. Euthanasia was suggested as an option by some veterinarians but Gallagher refused to give up on Kenny.

But Leslie Gallagher still had hope. Something told her Kenny was a fighter. She wanted to give him a chance and so she, and her staff, worked non-stop to help him recover. However, things just kept getting worse. During his physical therapy, it was found that Kenny had cancerous tumors, and underwent surgery.
To make matters worse, while recovering from surgery, Kenny ended up getting pneumonia. Fate was testing Kenny to the limit.

Kenny and Leslie didn’t give up even when the odds were against them. They fought tooth and nail to seek out top medical help for Kenny. After managing to raise $9,000 for his initial surgery costs, they managed to persuade Dr. Wayne Berry—a renowned neurologist—to agree to a second operation. Surprisingly, it was successful in slowly alleviating Kenny’s pain over time with physical therapy showing significant results afterward too.

Kenny went through numerous massages, laser treatments, hydrotherapy sessions, acupuncture treatments, and physical exercises in the coming months. You name it; Kenny was trying it. Kenny’s legs gradually began to function again as he progressed slowly and steadily. He regained bladder and bowel control little by little.

One day, A MIRACLE HAPPENED! Kenny amazed us all by running! He ran to his caretaker and offered kisses. Today, Kenny gets around on his own and loves playing with the other dogs and his caretakers. It’s amazing how far he’s come from where he started out. Kenny is our hero and gives us hope that nothing is impossible.
