More: Frankie Beans was paralyzed and lost use of his hind legs from a back injury when he was 6 years old. He had a major back surgery and regained full use of his legs and is now 100%! He was treated at Michigan State University. Lily is Frankies Mom. We have his Dad too...his name is Oliver and Oliver is the Nicest Dog in the World! He’s never shown aggression to any human or other animal and is Everyone’s Friend! I am a social worker and both Frankie & Oliver work as therapy dogs for people with disabilities and mental illness.
