Oh my goodness, how good is this! Maui was happy to be in attendance to support Ruby as she complete's her physical therapy. However, once a ball was introduced to Ruby's exercises, Maui only had eyes for one thing and the fully Golden tried her hardest to get ahold of it, but with no such luck. Someone get this good girl a ball, stat!
Ruby is not the only Corgi to participate in physical therapy sessions. Many Corgis develop arthritis in their joints and spines and it affects their ability to get around. Due to the way their joints develop, it can show up earlier than it might in other breeds.
Additionally, the Corgi's long bodies and short legs makes them susceptible to spinal issues like intervertebral disc disease or herniated discs. Many dog parents sign their pups up for hydrotherapy, as Ruby is doing in the video, as a way to get ahead of the likely future.
While Maui did get a bit distracted by the tennis ball, she still showed up to support her friend. Their story encourages us to be there for our loved ones in times of need, reminding us that a little support and compassion can go a long way!
