只有巴掌大的小白兔Wheelz出生在美國一座名為Overlook Acres的農場,牠被發現得時候已經在雪地裡被凍成冰棒,推測應該是被年紀較大得兔子啃咬,並拖行出牠活動的小盒子中,導致牠後腿癱瘓沒有辦法正常行走。不過男主人傑森(Jason Ambrosino)並不放棄,為牠特製了醫個小滑板當輪椅,讓這隻小白兔可以盡情奔跑!

小小的Wheelz才剛出生不久就被發現癱在農場外的雪地中,身上的傷和嚴重失溫導致牠奄奄一息,不過這隻小兔子的生命力也非常強勁,經過傑森和太太松雅(Sonja)的細心照顧,牠很快就恢復了元氣,也掙扎著想要用兩隻還能活動的前腳到處探所世界。這也讓傑森突發奇想,打算為牠量身打造一個專屬的小滑板,讓Wheelz不用再拖著身體到處跑。

松雅跑到了1元商店買了和牠體長相當的小滑板、內衣肩帶還有白色襪子,和丈夫同心協力做出了讓Wheelz可以舒適又自由的輪椅,成品也讓他們十分滿意。而Wheelz穿上小滑板之後更是開心地到處亂跑,其他兔子也被牠吸引過來,好奇探望同伴身上的到底是什麼東西。

Sometimes with farm life you have to make hard decisions....like putting down an animal because the quality of life is no longer good. However, at Overlook Acres we do what we can. Over the past few weeks we have had about 6 litters of bunnies born. We lost many to the frigid temperatures of upstate New York. But thanks to Christine Griffith she took the remaining bunnies inside and bottle fed each one. I found this little guy in the barn stiff and half frozen and brought him inside. After a few days of warmth he was eating normal but wasnt moving his back legs. It appeared he was paralyzed from his belly down. Normally this circumstance would result in putting the animals down and out of his misery but he didnt seem to be in any pain. He managed to still pull himself around the floor and was moving faster than the other babies. So, Christine took it upon herself to buy a $1 skateboard toy at the dollar store and manuifacture a mini wheel chair body for this little guy. He is as happy as can be and loves his speed. Share the video if you would like. Who doesn't love a baby bunny in a wheelchair??
