WOW! Star Wars. That’s incredible.
(I fast forworded through the boring part.)

You are right about how well dogs do with three legs. I had a Doberman who had a hind leg amputated because of cancer. She was almost as fast on three as she was on four. I heard the “old adage” from a few people that God gave Dogs three good legs and a spare. I believe it. I saw it.
Just some dog from a google search.
Is that the same device?
A similar prosthetic paw. It doesn't look like it has a wrist joint.
What did they use, an X-Ray camera?
Until they start chasing cars.
The first thought on Storm’s mind after he got his metallic paw, “Where is the cat?”
It’ll be hard to out run them. Just as long as they don’t have bionic teeth to bite the tires with...
Veterinary prosthetics - what a concept. This has hugh applications to meat animals like pigs and cattle. We don’t have to slaughter them for meat, just a humane amputation, fit ol’ porker with a prosthesis and fresh pork roast!
LOL!
Great ........Girl Friday is reading this and looking at her dog Tripod.
This is gonna cost me ......
You may have to take that second job after all!
“SHE” may have to learn to polish brass poles if she wants this Mod for her Mutt !
have to watch at home.
