Paralyzed Dog's Paw Twitches Spark Heartbreak Online

On November 10, 2025, a heartbreaking video of a partially paralyzed dog twitching his paws in his sleep went viral online. The clip, shared by the pup's owner on Threads, shows the 6-year-old rough collie named Hudson sleeping on a fuzzy blanket and twitching his paws, likely dreaming of running freely like he used to before developing his condition.

Hudson suffers from degenerative myelopathy, a progressive neurological disorder similar to ALS in humans. This condition affects the dog's spinal cord, causing gradual muscle weakness and loss of coordination, typically starting in the hind legs and moving up the body. While there is no cure for this disease, Hudson's owner is doing everything they can to keep him comfortable and mobile for as long as possible.

The video has struck a chord with thousands of viewers, who have expressed their empathy and sorrow for the pup's situation. Many have shared their own experiences with senior pets and the heartbreak of watching their beloved companions struggle with terminal illnesses. The outpouring of support and understanding has been a testament to the deep bond between humans and their canine companions.
