Toy cart helps Penelope Pitstop get back in the race

A little dog who suffered horrific injuries, including a broken pelvis and broken back legs, has got back on her feet thanks to the aid of a toy cart.

Discovered dying on the side of the road in Southill in Limerick, the Jack Russell Chihuahua crossbreed was rescued by a local man who brought her to Limerick Animal Welfare (LAW).

Now, the two-year-old canine is running rings around her carers after they provided her with a €10 toy sand trailer purchased in Tesco.
