A TikTok user is desperate: her Pomeranian is lame on her hind legs.
But she struggles to get him to walk again.
Your way there touches millions of people online.
One of the first video shots is TikTok user Ashley crying bitter tears at a table.
Her nerves seem to be completely gone - but is it out of joy or desperation?
This question is justified when you watch the whole video of the young TikToker, which is going viral on the social platform.
The clip has already been clicked almost 20 million times and received over 5.5 million likes.
But what is the community celebrating so much?
The main character in the video: Pomeranian Nimbus.
Pomeranian Nimbus can no longer walk - but continues to fight
At first you can see how the white ball of yarn, which looks like a snowball, can hardly walk.
His hind legs are paralyzed.
When the cute dog is in his harness, Ashley practically only "drags" him across the street when we go for a walk.
But Ashley doesn't want to give up and gives him lots of love, time and attention.
She supports him when they practice walking together in the apartment in the harness.
Their common goal: Nimbus should be able to do it on its own by its birthday.

For this, the young woman with Nimbus goes to physiotherapy, where he makes his first progress in the water, among other things.
In addition, the therapist does special exercises with the little four-legged friend to strengthen the muscles again.
Eventually, the Pomeranian only hobbles on one foot, while he can make better progress with the other.
According to the clip, Ashley even subjected the four-legged friend to some kind of electrotherapy.
And then the big day finally comes: How will Nimbus fare?
"Little fighter" Nimbus is the star on his big day
In fact, he seems transformed.
He runs through the apartment at lightning speed and also after the TikTok user outside.
In the end, they walk towards the sunset together in slow motion.
Something cheesy?
Ashley's followers like it.
A lot of them comment below how happy they are about the development of Nimbus.
Another Pomeranian has also made it into the hearts of TikTok users with a hearty campaign.
