Although it was predicted that he would not be able to hop or walk, Pierre Michel has proved this wrong. The ability to spend hours outside exercising at his own pace and will has healed his back immensely and he throws himself into running with his partner Calais with gusto. He is also somewhat Deaf so it is important to approach him from the front so that he can see you.
