Internet Obsessed With Disabled Husky Running at Beach

A rescue dog named Fenix has delighted viewers all over the internet after a video of him running on the beach went viral on social media this week.

In a post shared on Monday by the dog's owner, under the username Fenixlumiere, the neurodivergent husky can be seen running on the sand, living his best life as his owner films his excitement. The clip comes with a caption that says: "Do the hustle..."

In a different post, his owner explained that Fenix is affected by a brain disorder called cerebellar hypoplasia, which affects his balance and coordination, making it harder for him to learn how to run or jump on and off the sofa.

According to Carolina Veterinary Specialists Rock Hill, cerebellar hypoplasia in dogs is a condition characterized by the inadequate development of the cerebellum, the part of the brain that is responsible for fine-tuning motor movements, and affected pets will be unable to move or even stand still normally.

"Whenever a dog shows signs of cerebellar ataxia diagnostic testing is recommended in order to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms such as brain tumors, infections, or congenital malformations," the Carolina Veterinary Specialists website says. "Diagnostic testing is key since many of the conditions which can lead to ataxia are readily treatable."

The post quickly gained popularity, attracting animal lovers from across the platform. It has so far received more than 6.2 million views and 1.2 million likes.
