Determined to help him move more easily, his family built a special Lego wheelchair for him.

This innovative solution created new opportunities for Nubby.

He quickly mastered scooting across the floor, gaining strength until he could stand and launch himself forward on his hind legs.

With practice, he became proficient at getting around and was able to explore more of the house and yard.
