Scotty is still alive and kicking. I do not know if any of you have seen his videos on youtube but Ch. Veyatie Barra had to have one eye removed because of glaucoma and then he herniated several spinal discs and was paralyzed and had to have surgery. Afterwards he had needed rehab and has been taken twice a week to a canine rehab facility. His wonderful owners the Bowens have kept me updated throughout. These are the just the greatest people. So I am first posting the website of the canine rehab center and a page they did on the rehab with Scotty. Then I am going to do another post with the video they took of Scotty yesterday. Scotty is 14 yrs old and is a very active senior, receiving his Rally Novice title at age 11 and has a full time job of letting children at the Library read to him.

Judy, thanks for sending this out - what a guy!!!

Wow - what a dog & he's sure got fantastic people around him too!

TREMENDOUS videos. Shari and I watched them and simply applaud the courage of these people and Scotty exhibit. It is beyond heart-warming.

How impressive and encouraging. Go Scotty - keep improving.

Wonderful , thank you for sharing.

Judy; That is so great to hear. You should let Jim and Elise Nolan know, if you haven't already. I am sure they would love to hear how great he is doing, since sadly they quit breeding after the litter that I got my girl from back in 2006.

All the best :)

I just watched Scotty's Rehab videos #1 thru #5.
They are wonderful.
Sure I teared up but to see the spirit of Scotty and devotion of the humans around him is just fantastic.
Thanks for sharing!

I justed watched all 5 also. He has come along way in such a short period of time. Great to see!
