Teen Builds Wheelchair from Scrap for Stray Dog

Fourteen-year-old Carlos from Brazil found a paralyzed stray dog dragging itself through the dirt. He couldn’t walk, couldn’t run — and had been abandoned.

Carlos didn’t have money, but he had tools and heart.

Now, the story is spreading like wildfire, and Carlos is getting offers from engineers and universities. But all he says is: “I just wanted to help.”
