A Leash of Hope: How Chewy Claus Made a Dog's Wish Come True from a Wheelchair

In a heartwarming twist from the world of pet philanthropy, Brooke Eby, who’s navigating life in a wheelchair due to ALS, had a little holiday wish granted in a big way! After struggling to take her small dog, Dray, for walks using ineffective adaptive leashes, Brooke wrote a letter to Chewy Claus asking for a special leash that would fit Dray’s needs. The result? Chewy not only delivered the custom leash, but also a basket overflowing with gifts. Talk about puppy love!

Now, Brooke can stroll along with Dray once more, reclaiming a special piece of her independence. She shared her feelings, saying the leash lets Dray know she’s still the same devoted dog mom he’s always had. And the sweet cherry on top? Chewy Claus is donating $10,000 to Team Gleason, an organization supporting ALS advocacy, spreading the holiday cheer beyond just one home.

This touching story is a reminder of how simple letters and kindness can have rippling effects on lives. Have you ever experienced a moment where small acts of kindness made a big difference in your life? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
