Skylar and Boo are always on the move, but they are two of seven puppies who are not moving like they should. “They walk that way to manage the pain,” said Dr. Stephanie Magnarelli of the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. The litter of 8-month old pups have orthopedic issues, mainly hip dysplasia, so their back hips dislocate. When they walk their back legs crouch and sometimes look knock-kneed.
