What could be sadder than a Doberman that can’t run?  Part of the appeal and beauty of the Doberman dog breed, is watching their elegant athletic bodies running and playing.

According to the Columbian, Tyson, a 13 month old Doberman had the misfortune of being born with carpus valgus.  This rare disorder causes the front legs to grow crooked.  Tyson is able to walk but tires quickly and obviously has difficulty running.  Even sadder is that if Tyson doesn’t get specialized surgery to his legs, they are expected to give out at around age 6, needing the Doberman to be euthanized.

Second Chance Champions, a non-profit group, is trying to help Tyson by raising the money needed for the expensive operation.
