‘I love Lufy more than my husband’: Why thousands are crying over this wheelchair-bound Bichon Frise rescue

The internet cannot get enough of Lufy, a disabled Bichon Frise rescue who uses a custom wheelchair and suffers from chronic health issues. The 1-year-and-7-month-old dog was posted for adoption by Sahara Kennel Rescue in Dubai on March 13, 2025, and instantly went viral. Now adopted by a loving family, Lufy's story has become a touching story of resilience and the power of collective action—as well as a reminder of the dangers of inhumane breeding practices that prioritize aesthetics of health.
