Check out the wheels on the new … German Shepherd?!

Here’s Brady, who currently lives at the Hope Veterinary Clinic on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, where he is recovering from a ruptured disk that nearly left him paralyzed. Thanks to a grant from the Picasso Fund, Brady is receiving hydro- and physical therapy and is expected to make a full recovery.

And when he does, he’ll be ready for adoption.

Last week, to get ready for action, he was outfitted with a set of wheels. Neighbors now watch him sprinting up the block with his vet, showing off his fuel-efficient mode of transport.

To find out more about Brady, call the clinic at (718) 852-4219.
