When Rexi was born, she looked just like her brothers and sisters. She seemed to be a typical beautiful golden retriever.
But when the pups started walking, Rexi's owners started to notice something strange about their little dog. She didn't want to walk on her front legs.
As she grew older and older, her legs started to grows backward, as if she were trying to reach behind her. She looked like a little birdie.
Yet, when the couple took her to the vet, all of her bones seemed to be growing normally. It's a strange phenomenon that multiple veterinarians can't seem to agree on the solution for. Some think that the problem is neurological. Some think that the best option is to amputate the legs or, in extreme cases, to put the poor pooch down, according to Fox 6 Now.
But, why would anyone put a dog that's so full of life like Rexi, who got her name from her slight resemblance to a T-rex, down? She doesn't seem to realize how different she is, scooting around on he chest and using her back legs to get around.
Instead of taking these drastic medical measures, Rexi's parents started a GoFundMe to help fund Rexi's condition. They are working on getting her a little cart or chair so that she can get around with much more ease, and play with her fellow dogs.
One look into this dog's eyes and you know that there is absolutely no reason she shouldn't get a full, long life, just like any other dog. While her condition is still a mystery, she's full of love and life.
