Orphaned and disabled, Marie the baby alpaca walks again with her own set of wheels reut.rs/3t2NUbB 
Marie’s back legs were left damaged by a traumatic birth that killed her mother and her sister.
‘She was hopping around as if she wanted to show everyone she has a strong character and wants to live,’ said Ronja Pohl, who first saw the disabled baby alpaca at a friend’s farm

After bringing her new pet home to the farm near Frankfurt where she works, Pohl took Marie to a veterinarian, who amputated one back leg and put her in touch with a company that makes wheelchairs for animals
Marie, strapped into her bespoke wheeled frame and harness, now totters happily around Pohl’s barn.
‘She solves a lot of problems herself. If she falls over, she will get up on her own - if she feels like it,’ Pohl said reut.rs/3t2NUbB
