A pet owner in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, documented her dog's journey from being paralysed from the neck down to being able to run again.

Amy filmed these progress videos over the course of four months from when 9-year-old Kim first regained control of her legs to when she was able to run normally again.

Amy told Newsflare: "The clips in the video span around four months of her recovery. From her first attempts to move to her being able to run around again, May to August time.

"The clips were originally sent to her physiotherapist to show her progress. Due to COVID restrictions, she wasn't allowed any in-person sessions, so it was all down to me in the end."

The filmer also wrote online: "I have no idea what started the original herniation. She was at the vets seven weeks before she was paralysed and was misdiagnosed with arthritis due to her age - she's 9.

"So I carried on letting her run around because she was on pain meds and supplements but that obviously made it worse until they ruptured.

"She had some serious complications and couldn't breathe by herself after surgery, so she was put on a ventilator and kept sedated for nearly 20 hours - that's on top of already being sedated for a good nine hours for tests and the surgery itself. After that, she spent three weeks in the ICU at the specialist vets.

"She had no movement at all for four weeks so I was moving her around every few hours to stop her getting sores."

The clips in the video span around 4 months of her recovery. From her first attempts to move to her being able to run around again (May to August time). I'm filming and my dad is in a couple of shots.

This is kim. At the start of May she ruptured two discs in her neck (C2/C3) and was paralysed from the neck down. She had emergency surgery and she's worked so hard over the past few months.

I made this video to show some of her progress.

EDIT: I just want to say thank you for all the kind words and awards! I genuinely didn't think many people would see this video but I wanted to share it because I'm super proud of her.

• I have no idea what started the original herniation. She was at the vets 7 weeks before she was paralysed and was misdiagnosed with arthritis due to her age (she's 9). So I carried on letting her run around because she was on pain meds and supplements but that obviously made it worse until they ruptured.

• She had some serious complications and couldn't breathe by herself after surgery so she was put on a ventilator and kept sedated for nearly 20hrs (that's on top of already being sedated for a good 9 hours for tests and the surgery itself). After that she spent 3 weeks in the ICU at the specialist vets.

• She had no movement at all for 4 weeks so I was moving her around ever few hours to stop her getting sores.

• Thanks to COVID she couldn't have in person appointments with a physiotherapist so everything was up to me. I would talk on the phone with her and she'd send me emails with instructions etc. The clips in this video are actually ones I have to send her physiotherapist so she could assess her.

• The clips in the video span about 4 months give or take.
