Physical disabilty aid question♿

Hi

Does anyone here use a physical disabilty aid and have people make fun of it to the point they dont use it sometimes and then cop it pain wise afterwards?

My 30kg dog has a large pram and while most people are nice about there are alot of people who can be very cruel and if i have to many rude comments in a short time frame then i get self consious and wont use it for a walk to avoid stigma. Im riddled with guilt cause my poor dogs struggling walking home.

Hi Lynne,

Maybe some people just don't understand what is happening and so say things that are hurtful. It know it can be hard to ignore the negative and cruel things people say.

Your dear dog obviously needs the pram. Maybe you could ask the people who make a comment if they would expect a human in a wheel chair to be able to walk.

It is wonderful you care for your dog this way and the dog is able to join you.

All the best from Dools
