A baby emu at a North Carolina sanctuary is learning to run after getting a custom wheelchair. Rhonda Farrell, the founder of Bella View Farm Animal Sanctuary, said the emu was found in poor condition at a Wisconsin farm. The emu had a slipped tendon and was being kept in a tote bag before being brought to her sanctuary, which specializes in special needs animals. Farrell had the emu, dubbed Lemu, outfitted with a custom wheelchair from a company called Walkin' Pets.

A 2-month-old baby emu was rescued in very poor condition. Lemu was found in Wisconsin, where he was kept in a tote bag with a slipped tendon. Lemu still needed a device to help him get back on his feet and aid him in his rehab recovery journey. With 7 goats at BVFAS already in wheelchairs, Rhonda and her team knew just what to do . . . Lemu got himself a fully supportive wheelchair from Walkin’ Pets
