Dog Prosthetics
Isn’t this dog gorgeous! I’m partial to blue dogs anyways, but he is especially pretty. But that’s not the point of the story. Wyatt was found missing a rear leg, and rescued by the Cleveland Animal Protective League. Once his story became known, a massive fund-raising drive raised enough money for him to be fitted with a prosthetic leg. It’s amazing the things that can be done when people put their minds to it, isn’t it?
Once he gets used to his leg, Wyatt will be available for adoption, probably sometime this fall. It will be a lucky family that gets him!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
