A Special Stair Lift for a Special Dog
A dog owner’s kind accommodation for her senior Great Dane is reminding people of the immense difference vertical transportation (VT) can make. Hanky, the aging Great Dane, has been having trouble getting up and down the stairs of his home in his old age. Just like human seniors, Hanky was unable to access his life-long bedroom at the top of the flight of stairs. That is, until his owner made a decision that would change his daily life forever.
Hanky’s life was greatly improved when his owner decided to install a custom stair lift for the large dog. A recent TikTok video showed his owner’s touching efforts to allow Hanky to access his entire home. Now, every night, the large dog gets to ride on a custom stair lift up to his bedroom without having to put extra stress on his already arthritic joints. In the video shared by @docmclaugh, Hanky calmly steps onto the lift and the caption reads simply, “Our new nightly routine.” This is yet another comforting example of how VT can make a world of difference in someone’s, or some creature’s, life.
