Off Lead | Monty

In this Off Lead, I read my story, Monty, about a 10-month-old schnauzer whose bunny hop made me look twice. It looks adorable, but in a young dog it can be a sign of sore hips, often with no limp at all. I share what I told his guardian, and what you can do if your dog runs like this.
