Tyrion the Paralyzed Pup Just Got a Wheelchair—and His Zoomies Are EVERYTHING

For most dogs, being able to run, play, and explore is a huge part of who they are. So when mobility is taken away due to paralysis, it can seem like their spirit dims a bit.

That’s why a now-viral video of a paralyzed dog racing around in his wheelchair is hitting people right in the feels—it’s a sweet reminder of how the right help can make all the difference.

We’re so lucky that Tyrion loves his wheels! Not all dogs do unfortunately. Some feel too awkward or uncomfortable to even take a few steps. I feel really really lucky that T jumped into his and started zooming immediately 😍

A touching TikTok clip posted by @diggydagg introduces us to Tyrion, a paralyzed dog who’s been given a second chance at living life to the fullest—this time with the help of a custom wheelchair.

The video starts off with Tyrion’s owner gently securing him into his small, specially-designed set of wheels.

As soon as he’s ready, Tyrion takes off indoors, zooming through the house with tail wagging and energy to spare.

It gets even better when the door opens. Tyrion dashes into the yard and speeds across the grass, clearly overjoyed and free.

His happiness is contagious. A caption in the video reads, “POV: your dog gets a wheelchair and his personality comes back to life,” capturing the exact emotion of the moment.

You can see how alive he feels again—like he’s rediscovering his true self.

In the video’s caption, Tyrion’s owner opens up a bit more: “We’re so lucky that Tyrion loves his wheels! Not all dogs do unfortunately.”

She explains that not every dog adjusts right away to using a wheelchair, with some acting unsure or even resisting it at first. “I feel really really lucky that T jumped into his and started zooming immediately,” she wrote.

The response online was huge. The video racked up more than 3.4 million likes and over 13,000 comments, with viewers emotionally invested in Tyrion’s comeback story.

One commenter wrote, “Not to be dramatic but I’ll die for him.” Another said, “I have no idea who invented wheelchairs for dogs but whomever it was they deserve a place in heaven.”

Even YouTube’s official account couldn’t resist, chiming in with, “The way he’s smiling so big.”
