This really is a neat idea! I had a dog who had her back leg amputated due to cancer. She was 10 at the time. She lived 3 1/2 years after the surgery. The last two months of her life she needed a wheel chair to get around outside and get exercise. I can say from experience it was one of the most inspirational things I've ever seen. It took about a week for her to adapt to having wheels. Once she got the hang of it she loved to run and chase cats in our front yard.
I think it would really be beneficial for disabled people to be paired up with disabled animals. One of the things I learned after my dog had her leg amputated is that dogs don't wallow in self pity. They get up and they figure out how to survive. She definitely motivated me to get up every morning even when my arthritis was giving me a bad time.
