New Leash on Life on ABC – Joel and Laura meet fifty-seven-year-old Tracy or ‘Nana Skids’ as she’s known to her grandsons.
At the age of forty-three, Tracy’s life was turned upside down in a motorbike accident. The once adventurous thrill seeker became a paraplegic and her life changed forever.
Fourteen years on, she is feeling isolated and depressed. When she was refused a rescue dog by a shelter group, due to her disability, Tracy had given up on the idea of finding a loving companion.
But she knows a rescue dog would give her purpose and get her engaged with the world outside her front door again. She is happy with the idea of any type of dog – apart from a chihuahua.
Joel and Laura want to match Tracy with a compatible canine who won’t overpower her and who will get along with Darla, her daughter’s rottweiler. They meet a newly arrived bonded pint-sized pair of dogs, who are brimming with character – Jasper the fox terrier and Jade the chihuahua.
But Laura is unsure if Tracey would take 2 dogs! And whilst these smaller hounds are a good pairing, Jade is a chihuahua!
Will big hearted Tracey embrace the idea of having 2 dogs?
