The two-legged pooch takes about two or three steps on his two back legs, and then lowers himself to the floor onto what would be his front shoulders. He then gets up again and repeats all this, until he has arrived at where ever he is going. He doesn't appear to think he has any problem getting around, ... and actually he doesn't.

My vet is a cats-only vet, but she has a small herd of these non-handicapped "handicapped" Chihuahuas.
