Hoover's Newest Wheelchair


enlarge image

 

This activity is the second in a two activity series recounting the fact that a partially paralyzed dog by the name of Hoover was able to regain his mobility back by the use of a new wheelchair which he was lifted into.

In this second activity we recount that the first chair that Hoover received worked well for him, but we felt that a newer, lighter and more stable chair with a wider wheel base would serve him better. Close up photographs and videos in both activities show how Hoover moved from dragging his body to motoring around in the wheelchairs. In so doing he was able to play with the other dogs and go after the pesky squirrels that he loves to chase in his yard.

This activity was built upon one of the scaffolded templates available on the Learning Magic, Inc. "The Writing Bin" CD.
