When Darrell and Sue Rider saw Bandit on Facebook, they knew they needed to meet him. Darrell felt an immediate connection with Bandit, as he also happens to be in a wheelchair.
“The most intriguing part of Bandit is that he and I share the same type of paralysis and use a wheelchair to get around,” Darrell said.
“Because Sue and I know what it’s like to live life in a wheelchair, we understood what Bandit needed. We also felt a much deeper connection.”
Bandit has settled in perfectly with his new family. “Bandit is doing great and has adjusted better than we could have imagined with his new family and surroundings,” Rider said.
“We, as his family, couldn’t be happier to have Bandit in our lives.”
Here's how people have reacted to Bandit's story.
