The Golden Retriever named Ralph, who only has three legs, has been receiving physical therapy. Hold on a second. A canine receiving physical therapy? Never previously have we heard of that. However, we discovered that it is very much a thing with the help of TikTok user @thetripawdtwins.
Back to Ralph we go. Ralph was practicing his ball-balancing skills in this video. His one rear leg is still on the ground while his two front paws are elevated above the ball. You’ll be extremely pleased with his performance!
@thetripawdtwins His paws twitching on the ball make my heart melt. He’s trying so hard 🥺 #tripawd #rescuedog #goldenretriever #farmdog #dogsoftiktok #golden #disableddog #doglove #threeleggeddog #physicaltherapy #strengthtraining ♬ original sound – Ralph & Daisy
This is so adorable, I love it! Ralph did a truly outstanding job. It comes out that he receives physical therapy in order to maintain his strength and guard against injury to the other legs. Smart! “Good boy! He did so good,” commented @michelle_175. You can say that again!
“I didn’t know that puppy physical therapist was a career choice???” said @loveotterly. Uhh, neither did we! And now we’re seriously reconsidering some of our life choices. LOL! @user17373822992 added, “The perfect job doesn’t ex-.” Our thoughts exactly! We originally thought there was no perfect job, but this is definitely it!
@printedpi suggested, “Human physios definitely need to consider the ‘treats’ method.” HA! Honestly, that’s not a bad idea at all. Nothing wrong with a little food motivation to keep patients going. Too bad no one in human physical therapy will ever be as cute as Ralph. Keep up the great work!
