Little Draggin' Bear is a kitten who was attacked by a raccoon. His back was broken so now he is a paraplegic. He was born around mid-April 2004 (we have chosen the second Saturday of every April as his birthday. His first "wheelchair", known as the "Draggin' Wagon" is built from K'NEX.
Little Draggin' Bear spends his days at Bear Creek Animal Clinic in Ashland, Oregon. If you are in the area, feel free to stop by and pay him a visit.
This is the photo from the original news article about Bear that was published in the Medford Mail Tribune. This article also got on the AP newswire.
