MacKenzie, left. and Jasper, are 9-week-old Chihuahuas born without front legs. Debbie Fahrenholtz, who runs "Just a Touch Rescue" for dogs with special needs and disabilities, is giving the puppies therapy so they will learn to manage with just their back legs. Fahrenholtz, a veterinary technician at Warwick Animal Hospital, and Margaret Guzinski, a veterinarian at the hospital, have set up a Web site to check on the progress of the puppies, who will get operations to help them. Video: Watch Mackenzie and Jasper during a therapy session. Send in your own pet photos to projo.com's pet slideshow.
