My father was paralyzed in a wreck last week, some kid was high on pot and pills and hit the vehicle my dad was in head on while texting. My dad asked me to try to find him a 'sled' type device that he could transfer into from a wheelchair and let our highly energetic 160 lb German Shepard walk or run pulling him behind. I've seen a couple different systems but none of them allow the dog to pull you, give you full control (steering and breaks) and have wheels. All three are a must have! I have searched google pretty intensively and haven't really found much, if anyone have any ideas or knows of anything like this please let me know.
Edit: Just for anyone that reads this I don't want to make the impression that my father is lazy by any means. he's in a solid shape for a 53 year old who volenteers often, rides his bike a couple times a day and would walk or run with dogs everyday rain or shine, just a spur of the moment idea for the time being and who knows where this will go.
I am also active duty military home one emergency leave so i can only do so much, this would be one of the things i really want to make happen b.c i know how much he loves his dog and just being an active strong person.
here are a couple pictures of Miller, our dog, and I. These were a few months ago and he's gotten bigger since then... now weights about 100 lbs.
