Owners of a paralysed dog documented his remarkable recovery after being hit by a car, with vets saying that he'd never walk again.

Following the crash on March 13 the golden retriever, named Rivers, had been unable to stand to pee or sit up on his own until he stood up for the first time on April 8

After weeks of having to flip Rivers over to keep him from getting bed sores, the persistent pooch powered through his physical therapy and can now walk with a wobbly gait.

The filmer commented: "I hope anyone who is in a similar situation reads this and knows they are not alone and that miracles can happen when you refuse to give up."

This was Rivers a few days after being hit. He’s still in the hostipal here

We would have to clean him with baby wipes daily, he could stand so he’d pee on himself and on the puppy pads.

This is three days after we brought rivers home from the vet- this was his first sign of movement. “Shake”

Rivers started to sit up on his own- he enjoyed sitting in the sunshine so we moved him out there.

This was Rivers first time trying to stand after the accident

This was some of rivers for tries on walking with help.

Rivers was hit by a car on March 13th, 2019. We were told he lost his ability to walk and he had no value of life. The emergency Vet clinic told us it would be best to put him down. Devastated and confused we refused to believe the news and instead took him home. For the past 12 weeks we have nurses him back to help, put him in physical therapy, worked with him- refusing to ever give up on him. He proved everyone wrong, he is the strongest pup.
