1. Poor pup!

But, you know, animals are incredibly adaptive.

2. poor thing, I am wondering why they are giving the dog prosthetics

for the front legs; I have seen other dogs with them and they seem to take to them very well. This has to be a real strain for this dog to do anything as their spines aren't meant to be upright walkers.

3. wow

that is quite amazing. I'm glad the doggie lives a normal happy life.

4. Definitely poor dog! :(

I've seen a 2 legged dog and cat on Animal Planet... they both had front and rear legs missing on the same side missing.

5. Ive seen this dog on CNN

Cnn did a piece on this dog once and he (or she?) gets around just fine. It goes on walks with it's owners and just seems to be happy as any other dog. I guess it's just normal for him.

My dogs vet used to have this dog that lost the use of his back legs and she had this 2 wheeled contraption made and the dog seemed to do well. He just wlked with his fron legs and wheeled around.

6. Seems like this dog might be more comfortable with a sling of some sort.

With wheels on the front.

As said earlier a dog's spine and organs just aren't designed to be in that posture for prolonged periods.

7. Whoa!! My next door neighbor has a 3 legged dog

He gets around pretty well, it's his hind leg. That one's amazing!
