Four prosthetic paws?! WOW!!


Found on the I fucking love science Facebook


Naki’o is up and around after being fitted with four prosthetic paws. He had been abandoned after his owner’s house fell into foreclosure and lost his paws and part of his tail to frostbite.

He was brought to a veterinary clinic when he was finally found, and a sympathetic vet assistant decided to take him home. To cover the cost of his operation, she organized a fundraiser, and the prosthetic company even donated two of the paws. Thanks to his new bionic limbs, he is now able to run, jump, and swim like any other dog.
