Service dog gets a leg up

by sussie on November 30, 2011

Service dog gets fitted with a prosthetic leg.

Note from Sussie: I think the main reason the dog started to complain is
that the constant taking off and putting on of the leg was starting to
irritate it.

At first I thought "Well if the dog was born without it, why bother?" I have
had two three legged dogs in my life and they lived long healthy lives (one
Akita-Border Collie lived to be 16 and one Border Collie until cancer got
her at the age of 15). But then I had to remember to take into consideration
the breed here. Labs are known to develop hip problems. This would help the
one good leg from going bad too soon.
