Lort Smith Tucker adopted

Tucker walks with a high step, a bit of a wobble and the occasional tremble, especially when he's concentrating hard.

The two-year-old kelpie cross Siberian husky has cerebellar hypoplasia, a condition that affects the part of the brain that controls movement. It makes him uncoordinated, but it isn't painful, and it doesn't affect his mind. If anything, he's more loving than most.

Lort Smith volunteer Anastasia met Tucker on one of her shifts, and the rest is history.

Tucker now has a canine brother, Elliot the greyhound, whom he adores, and his family even moved to a bigger house to give their dogs more room.

Tucker landed on all fours, if a little wobbly.
