主人们将视频传到了YouTube上,他们说有一把供Duncan使用的轮椅,但是他并不爱用。

“我们让他自由地用两条腿行走。视频中有些特意制作的慢镜头,但是没有任何一处做过加速处理,你们可以通过视频感受到Duncan跑得有多快。”主人们说。

Duncan踏着浪花,在沙滩上同其他人及狗狗赛跑,还兴奋地摇着尾巴,他的喜悦之情显而易见。
Duncan's owners have described him as a 'trooper', adding on charity's Facebook page: 'He's happy, healthy and as far as he knows, normal too.'
主人们用“骑兵”一词来形容Duncan,他们在组织的Facebook中写道:“他很快乐,也很健康;而且在他自己看来,他是条正常的狗狗。”
'It would be the best if he had four legs, of course, but his body wasn't built to have back legs and that's OK. He and we have just adapted.'
“他如果能有四条腿当然最好,但是他天生就失去了后肢,这也没什么关系,无论是他还是我们都已经适应了这一点。”
