Balusha the Malamute is paralyzed after a disc in his spine herniated in 2022. Despite his disability, Balusha still manages to be active with the use of a wheelchair. However, his true happy place is at the beach. Knowing this, his doting humans take him as often as possible. At the beach, the paralyzed Malamute wears a life vest for safety while he enjoys splashing in the sea’s gentle waves.

Determined to join him, Balusha makes his way through the waves and into deeper waters. He enjoys paddling around in his life vest. When he is ready to get out, his human helps him make his way back to shore safely.
