Disabled dog's wheelchair stolen, say Mass. pet owner

(CBS/WBZ/AP) WEST ROXBURY, Mass. - Someone appears to have stolen a wheelchair from a disabled dog in West Roxbury, Mass.

The dog's owner, Dave Feeney, told CBS affiliate WBZ-TV that on Sunday someone took the device that helps his 12-year-old Belgian Shepherd "Lucky" get around. Lucky was reportedly left without the use of his hind legs after being hit by a car a few years ago.

Feeney says that the chair disappeared from the front yard of the neighborhood south of Boston, reports WBZ. The owner explained that it wasn't trash day, and that it was "obvious" that the device was meant for a disabled dog.

Feeney says, "For somebody to do this, they knew what they were doing," reports WBZ.

Police say they're looking into the incident.

This story does have a silver lining, however. Lucky is back in action thanks to a New Hampshire-based company.

HandicappedPets.com has donated a new adjustable chair to Lucky that costs between $400 and $500. Spokeswoman Lisa-Marie Mulkern says the company wanted to do anything it could "to right a wrong."
