‘Look Maggie, I’m Walking!’ Toddler With Spina Bifida Proudly Tells Dog His Achievement

Way to go, Roman!

In what might just be the sweetest viral video of all time, a toddler with Spina Bifida can be seen learning how to walk and showing off his newfound skill to his dog. The way he proudly shouts his accomplishments to his beloved pup is a guaranteed heart-melter.

Two-year-old Roman Dinkel has defied the odds by walking despite his birth defect. The young boy was diagnosed with spina bifida, myelomeningocele L3-S2, on his 20-week ultrasound.

A video of Roman showed him on his crutches with the family dog, exclaiming, “Look Maggie, I’m walking!” The clip touched a lot of hearts and it quickly went viral.

In a Facebook page that was put up by his parents to share his journey, Roman’s mom wrote:

“Not only did he walk all over the yard but then he walked across the street and down the road and turned around and came all the way back. Without any help from me! *Obviously I was right beside him if he needed me* but he didn’t need me! Not at all. He moves at a snail’s pace so we won’t be able to use them if we are in a hurry lol but I’m thinking we will be ditching the walker much sooner than expected!”

Although he fell a lot of times during the trial and error period, he never gave up. Now, Roman can walk using walking devices like a pair of crutches.

His mom, Whitney shared the seven-second clip of Roman on Facebook so people would see an update of his progress. So when netizens saw him proudly telling his dog that he’s walking, many were moved by it.

Some of the comments read:

“He’s so adorable and I’m happy he’s excited about learning something most of us take for granted every day! I cried typing this!”

“He’s so precious and yes we are so proud of you sweetie.”

“This little dude is fearless. Great job, family.”
