Saskatchewan dog has new legs

Story here

Please note: story is a little graphic and some may find it upsetting. There is a happy ending.

From the article:

A Saskatchewan dog who lost his hind legs after being found frozen in a patch of ground is back on all fours today.

Regina's Lakewood Animal Hospital recently posted an update on the health of Hector, born to a stray in La Loche in January 2013.

... never seen prosthetic limbs on an animal before. Only the "wheel" attachments. What a lucky dog to be living in a caring community and to have such a loving master. Thanks, shenmue, for sharing!
