Ten months after unexplained paralysis nearly cost him his life, Wolf has made close to a full recovery with love and acupuncture.

“He’s doing great,” said Tittabawassee Township Police Officer Julie L. Nagel, who owns the 6-year-old dachshund. “He’s awesome.”

When The Saginaw News last visited with Nagel in April, acupuncture had put Wolf on the road to recovery, but it was long and uncertain.

Once unable to move his hind legs, Wolf now runs and jumps, although Nagel tries to restrict the jumping for fear Wolf will re-injure himself.

“He walks like he has a little deformity,” Nagel said. “He just has a little bit of impairment and he looks kind of bow-legged. As far as recovery, I’d say it was 90 percent.
