Sometimes, inspiration to grab life by the horns comes from the most unexpected places, and this video of a pup playing fetch despite his hind legs being paralyzed is no exception. Recently, a Twitter user names Nick who declares himself "the world's best dog dad," shared a video of his pupper chasing a football with the caption, "My dog's back legs were paralyzed last month but I don't think he knows yet so don't tell him."

There's no denying the spirit of perseverance is alive and well in the clip, and it appears others agree. So far, the heart-warming video has amassed nearly 80,000 favourites and more than 17,000 retweets since it was shared on June 17, proving that motivation can take many forms.
